Paul Christoforo, best known as the man who set off an internet firestorm after a spat with a customer went public last December, has filed a lawsuit against the company he worked for them.
In a statement just released, N-Control, maker of the “Avenger” accessory linked to marketer Paul Christoforo, has promised a $US10 discount coupon for everyone as an apology for Christoforo’s conduct toward a customer in a widely publicized email thread earlier this week.
The PR tempest in a teapot born of one misused gamer and shockingly bad customer support seems to have mostly run its course, leaving a one-man PR firm in apparent shambles and a unique video game controller accessory struggling to survive.

It’s been a heck of a day for Paul Christoforo, whose flippant email to a customer asking about his Avenger controller order has made Christoforo a walking memetic punchline.
