Wasn't it kind of mutual though? I mean, the impetus may have come from Quinn & Co., but John was just looking for a scandal to tie his Rev 60 launch to....all one has to do is look at those early news interviews that John did like 30 of to see that he mentions Rev 60 in every one.
I see it as two manipulators coming together, more or less trying to use each other for their individual benefit. Wu is simply not as skilled a manipulator as Quinn, because Wu is (more) immediately off-putting.
I just can't see Wu as a victim of this. I know that's not what you meant,
@Cynical, but I have to think that if Wu hadn't tied his graft to Gamergoobers, he'd have tried to leverage SOME social connections to make a "muh harassment" splash.
