While exact figures weren't publicly released, estimates suggest a financial cost exceeding $10 million, encompassing mitigation expenses, lost revenue from game sales and subscriptions, and potential legal fees. The reputational damage was significant, with widespread criticism on social media regarding Blizzard's ability to protect player access and maintain service stability.
