Hot take: This card's existence making the game 70/30 runner-favored for five straight months following Magnum Opus is equally if not more responsible for the death of the playerbase than was FFG's decision to cease to print the game.

It's restricted now. Hopefully that means it stays in Blue going forward. —
There have been much worse cards than this (pretty much any of the removed cards in the MWL) and they didn't manage to kill the game. Arguably, given the activity here and on jinteki.net, neither has FFG. —
