They certainly tried to do this during the 30A ($1000 for 4 packs of 1993's Beta, not tournament legal) sale, and nobody wanted to be involved. So they went to some people in the Yu-Gi-Oh community who talked up the product for a day until they learned of the collective backlash and pricing for the product and apologized as well. Overall the community seems to be somewhat forgiving of what Wizards R&D does, but definitely not anything that's a result of Hasbro exercising pressure to milk the franchise, and usually it's quite easy to tell which is which as soon as you hear quiet "sorry I didn't decide this" remarks from R&D people. People don't hate the game or the company as much as the obvious ways to segment the audience and generally increase the price of new cardboard rectangles (as for reprints, they're actually doing those, but investor-collectors aren't so happy).
