You've misunderstood my intentions. I did not reach out to the agency to spoil anyone's fun. My email made it clear I was interested in using it to play the game, but that I also wished to know Chris Sawyer's views on the port. As far as I know, he's never shared his opinion on it. I do care about knowing his position and I thought others in this forum might want to know too. Without him, we would have never had this wonderful game in the first place. Also, Gymnasiast already mentioned Atari knows about OpenRCT2 and has previously used it in their online content, which means Sawyer's agency had to know about it as well. Both have not tried to shut anything down for many years. I understand what you're saying, but I think it's unlikely my email will have any influence on that.

I realize this is a pretty old discussion, but for those wondering what the official position Chris Sawyer takes in regards to OpenRCT2, as official as we're likely going to get anyway, I reached out to Guy Herbert of Marjacq Micro Ltd, the agency that represents Sawyer. Here's the response: The project has no blessing or support from Chris Sawyer and our view, it is both unethical and unlawful, involving infringements that may in some territories be criminal as well as a violation of Chris Sawyer's rights and those of his licensees - all of which remain reserved. RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, distributed by Atari, contains RCT and RCT2 rebuilt for modern operating systems under Chris's own direction.

This is great to have new carousel music that fits in so seamlessly. And no more sad and empty css files. Thank you very much.

X7123M3-256 rightly points out that OpenRCT2 seems to be in clear violation of the original RCT2 EULA, even if the original files need to be supplied. I've looked into this issue on other sites and forums. The responses I saw were very dubious. Also, I recently found the page on this site that provides the instructions and download link of the RCT2 demo to use in OpenRCT2, to "enjoy the full experience" without having to purchase the game at all. If I'm honest, this soured my enthusiasm and interest in the project. Maybe I've misunderstood somehow? I'd appreciate it if anyone can fill me in on more. OpenRCT2 looks like a great tribute to RCT and a fantastic way to play, but because of these above issues, I won't be doing so at this point.
