Popularity is good for the game and Carlsen has the most of it atm. I'd say Carlsen lost nothing and the organization lost potential popularity.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I waded I to this knowing nothing about the context, and while I still believe he was at fault for not following rules, I appreciate everyone's thoughts on his actions in the bigger picture.
