You're reading a lot into his comment and making a lot of assumptions.

1. Defendant had more information

2. The extra information was so important it would increase the value of the case 50x (there are not very many pieces of information in an employment suit that would increase a payout by 50x that an employee wouldn't know about)

3. They hired a very expensive attorney because of this reason.(as opposed to for intimidation reasons)

4. Gamemasters attorney was inexperienced.

5. Gamemaster's attorney's lack of experience caused him to drop the case.

6. Gamemaster's attorney's lack of experience also led him not be able to give an accurate valuation.

You're right that we don't have a whole lot of information and shouldn't make assumptions. To that point, the number Gamemaster gave could have been an amount that he personally would have settled for and not a number that his attorney came up with.
