The real question is if it actually counts as a loss on the record, or just says forfeit. I remember once when it did that, but essentially counted the game as if it never happened. There would be no mention of anything on any participant's wall.
That I don't mind quite as much. My MP record, however, is something I take pride in. I've given up dozens upon dozens of freebies due to McDonalds jank wifi. I don't need WGT to give me undeserved blemishes.
