Nah, you'll probably get $3.84 and the law firm handling it will get several hundred million.

This isn't a class action, it's a large binding arbitration case, and so the awards can be individually opted into while being negotiated en masse.
There was a similar case with a well known speaker company, and the payouts for that were several hundred dollars, and there's another one that's ongoing for Steam/Valve along these same lines. The attorney's fees come out of a percentage of the individual award, which can be much higher in these cases.
