So without more information, the jury is still out. I don't see any upside for Philip to bash SL, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment. But it's all to common with the press. Chimera Cosmos Note that Philip actually used the present tense in the quote.

“The problem with creating an immersive 3-D experience IS that it IS
just too involved, and so it’s hard to get people to engage,”

It was the journalist who implied that he spoke about it in the past tense.

So without more information, the jury is still out. I don’t see any upside for Philip to bash SL, so I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment. But it’s all to common with the press.
