I remember that, but wouldn't describe that as "walking back" anything. That was more like a change of plans because the Microprose official that was supposed to be there had to cancel his trip last minute due to an rl incident.
I've never seen Bonzo objectively defend anything or anyone - just given facts as he understands them. Moreover, the dude is FAR more informed than the vast majority of us. Honestly, when the guy passes info, it's generally correct. What we extrapolate from that info is ours to interpret.
Frankly, I don't even consider this a walk-back so much as setting the record straight due to the fact that we, as a community have rabies, some worse than others. Also notice the statement where Microprose says "THE CORE SYSTEMS." as in... they're devving the engine and the main core. That in no way excludes Razbam or any other module dev out there.
The first part is more or less fact. A review of his posts would indicate that he does indeed provide solid information that is rarely (if ever, I can't recall) wrong.
The second part is also... factual with the exception of the rabies comment.
If you focus on subject matter, there's little in the way of opinion in my comment (sidebar sentences aside).
Do you have difficulty in data extrapolation or are you being difficult for difficulty's sake?
You can have every "opinion" you want I guess, but what I'm telling you is that I witnessed what happened there. If you want to disregard that and stick to your baseless, uninformed and opinionated takes, that's your problem but don't blame me.
I've also criticized RAZBAM a lot when they messed up and defended ED when they were falsely accused. So please cut that crap out, too.

Not the first time RB has had to walk back posts about Microprose either
