If they win, will housing get cheaper? Will they have enough $ to fix the servers? To rehire the Konk?

Only time and legal 'mechanics' will tell.

    Ignoring the racist title, I'm very interested in the outcome of this lawsuit.

    My prediction is that it will have no effect in the game in any way, though. ZeniMax is the mother company, who says they will invest the money - if they win anything - on ZOS and not on Bethesda?
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Yes.

    (I am not/was not being serious btw, I was more like, commenting on the fact that the title has "Altmer" instead of "Mark" since nobody did)

    After the questioning of Carmack, I think Zenimax is in a good position here in this lawsuit. I bet the guys from Facebook peed their pants after he said all those things :D

    Obligatory inb4 lock.

    So Zenimax employee left Zenimax, took Zenimax Intellectual property with him, gave it to new company. That actually is a paddlin' in the business world.

    Yep. It is a pretty serious accusation, they seem to have a pretty solid case with what Carmack said (of course, they wouldn't go ahead with such a big case if they couldn't prove it), so reading that Facebook is "calling its story a fantasy" is kinda funny.
