Two interesting submissions from the firehose:
Woman game developer may have never "fled her home"
Previously unknown indie game developer Brianna Wu made international news, including on the green [slashdot.org], after claiming on October 11 that threats from the Gamergate movement had forced her to flee her home. As one report briefly mentioned, at that time Wu was on a planned trip to New York where she was scheduled to speak at Comic-Con. Later news interviews placed Wu at her home as they reported that she had fled from it, raising the question of whether she had ever been forced to flee her home at all.
As has come to be usual for any news on this subject, Medium administrators deleted an article that had provided additional evidence that Wu's secret media interview location was in fact her own home from which she had never fled."

FBI confirms open investigation into Gamergate
v3rgEz (125380) writes
"In a terse form letter responding to a FOIA request, the FBI has confirmed it has an open investigation into Gamergate, the loose but controversial coalition of gamers calling for ethics in gaming journalism â" even as some members have harassed and sent death threats to female gaming developers and critics"
Analysis of photos on reddit (scroll partway down) call her claim to be in hiding as extremely doubtful.

Here's something important I just found out.
DougieFFC in the comments below you noted how she was in the New York Comic Con the very weekend she was supposedly driven home. So I just looked it up, and I may have found more proof.
So she attended NYCC on October 12, the same weekend the claimed to have been driven from her home:

Now here's the interesting bit: she was scheduled to attend that NYCC panel since September 16:
In other words, she was "driven from her home" in the exact same weekend she already had scheduled to be out of town for months beforehand. And as the pictures show, she was back home on October 13, the very next day after the NYCC panel she attended.
Trust but verify and all, but we may have stumbled on a smoking gun, thanks to DougieFFC's comment.
I had always maintained that Wu was misleading people into believing that she was "forced from her home", that the "internet death threats" were not to be taken seriously, and that the police did NOT tell her to go into hiding. There's also the pics that show she was back home when she did the interview claiming to be on the run and not knowing when she'd be returning. So obviously she didn't take the threats seriously either - it was all hype. It will be interesting to see just what the FBI turns up about the source of those threats. Whether she didn't take them seriously because she was the source of them is now a fair question.
Why? My guess is she wanted to get into the public speaking gig scene, since she wasn't exactly making a hit as a game developer. Of course, after the HuffPost interview where she claimed to have both studied law and to have a background as a journalist, but got so many things wrong, it became painfully obvious that wasn't going to happen.

She won. She will now sport a lucrative career as a public... whatever. The narrative has been formed. Political Correctness has no room for objective truth. Just like the crumbling of lies surrounding the Rolling Stone/UVA 'rape', we shouldn't be looking at facts and events. Brianna's feels are more important.
Once again, the most dangerous group to women is formed of other women.

I wouldn't say she won - or that the SJWs won either. They've done a lot of damage towards women by using the "misogyny battle cry" for what is now obviously their own personal purpose - self-promotion. As well, they've alienated a lot of men (which suits their purpose fine because they can look at the reaction and say "see, I told you so!").
Everyone sub-group of our society experiences discrimination of some sort because of who or what they are - and yes, that includes white men, as unpopular a point of
