Victor Wachter: Inside the Nerf
Players get really emotional about nerfs. It's easy to lose the big picture when your small part of the world has been affected. it certainly isn't fun, but no, game devs are not trying to destroy their own livelihood
From the comments:
When feedback starts coming in, you get different responses from designers. They want to take pride in the work that they do and they don't want their game to be the subject of controversy on the game blogs. So when they make decisions, it's not in to further some agenda or vendetta. It's to keep their jobs and feel good about it.
At least that's how it is for the reasonable ones.

From the comments:
No Developer can possibly emulate the million and one weird things players do in a game. If they could we would still be waiting for Ultima Online to be released. So nerfs are sometimes needed. Period, paragraph. Its all a matter of HOW they release them.
