Ironically, I was about to say something like "I guess this explains the recent trademark business; they're trying to look like they're protecting their IP so they look better to investors.". And here you are saying the opposite. Is it possible that the same move could increase the perceived value to investors while actually decreasing it by squandering user goodwill?

Clearly it shows that they are willing to address issues on the business side with (perhaps excessive) zeal, but it also shows their audience that they are a heartless and clueless gaming company. Of course, it's not like other billion-dollar gaming companies have died on account of their heartlessness and cluelessness.
