Blizzard just released the fastest-selling video game ever, a title they reaffirmed, having also been the previous record holders. Are we seriously talking about Blizzard's reputation being irreparably damaged, to the point where they "can't recover"? That would be quite the fall, from being the world's best-selling developer.
It's one thing to talk about making decisions we don't like, or critiquing the game on the merits. But I'm getting awfully sick of the doomsaying over the fate of the whole company, which is still phenomenally successful.

It's not doomsaying because they released a dissapointing title. It's where the company is going. All you need to know is their little tidbit about reserving the right to sell their own items in the RMAH, to know where their game design priorities lie.
