No, but you can change the people's attitudes to it.

It's like... Michael Jackson might be an oddball today, and a lot of people dislike him... but they don't argue that his old music wasn't good
Do you deny that the child abuse fiascos have affected how people see his music, through negative association?

Besides, that's not even a valid comparison. You're talking about devaluing art because of the actions of the artist, whereas this matter is about devaluing a game because of what it turned into.

As a better example: What if a great and popular TV show started going downhill? What if its producers started churning out cheap and low-quality episodes? Would that not tarnish the reputation it had, and make people feel less fond of the series as a whole?
