I guess even Google would be pissed if an investment of 125M was to be flushed down the toilet. Also, I'm pretty sure they had far-reaching strategy right from the beginning, and had prepared themselves for such issues that might eventually leading them into battle.

It's a win/win for Google. The long game is this: either they win the fight outright and webM becomes the video standard, or they use webM and the specter of long, drawn-out (and expensive) litigation to force MPEG-LA to rethink their royalty policy.
