It may be frustrating to lose a cool project/client like this but in the end it was just a job and they got paid to do it. Not a big deal IMO.

Apparently the client is too lazy to remove their names as the creator of the website (which is supposedly crashing often). So their reputation is being irrevocably damaged. http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/dui6d/new_minecraftnet_part_3_so_about_that/c13050f http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/dui6d/new_minecra...

  They are not mentioned anywhere on the official website [1] and never were because it’s still the same old website with the same old database (or at least with the same old database without any changes from them). They are mentioned three times on the personal blog of the developer of Minecraft [2] but there is never any uncertainty about whether they are responsible for the website. It’s always clear that they are not, at least not yet. I don’t know what they expect their client to do. Should he delete old blog posts? [1] http://minecraft.net/ http://minecraft.net/ [2] I believe this is the complete list: August 12, for reporting a bug (http://notch.tumblr.com/post/943303185/security-server-update-0-1-2-01 http://notch.tumblr.com/post/943303185/security-server-updat...) September 20, announcement that TkTech will rewrite the database, quote: “I don’t know when it will be finished, but the plan is to cut over to the new code base when it’s done.” (http://notch.tumblr.com/post/1157267535/longest-free-weekend-ever http://notch.tumblr.com/post/1157267535/longest-free-weekend...) September 22, update on the database rewrite, announcement that it is nearly finished but will go only live after further testing (http://notch.tumblr.com/post/1166302589/this-is-what-im-doing-to-the-server http://notch.tumblr.com/post/1166302589/this-is-what-im-doin...) There have been no further updates on the database rewrite since then, with reference to TkTech or without. Please note that the plan for the rewrite arose in a time when the Minecraft server simply couldn’t handle the load.

  His reputation is certainly being more damaged by his tone in that reddit thread than by any offhand mention on a broken site.
