Noclip did a documentary[1] on RCT and successor games, and tried to interview Chris. The response passed through his representative is stated in the 2nd to last segment (The Legacy of RCT at 30m55) in the video. [1] [VIDEO]
Folks may also like the noclip documentary on RollerCoaster Tycoon: [VIDEO] . It goes into more detail, particularly about what happened after RCT2, and has some perspectives from people in the OpenRCT2 community.
Fun read, thx!
