With the added wrinkle in this particular case that the patent troll is also suing a bunch of little guys who decided to use Google Play Store.

Sounds like they are suing whoever they can including Minecraft which isn't a small fish.
There is a form of patent trolling that only goes after small guys. But they'd avoid actually litigating the patent and just push a settlement. They'd never take it to trial because little guys can't pay out enough to justify the cost of a patent trial. That form is basically extortion. They ask for a small sum of money to just go away.

Outrageous.
Surprised there isn't a more meaningful response from Google.
