Chris plays "casual" games very seriously. He will 100% games he likes, but not necessarily because he's good. He's just autistic enough to brute force his way through every single side mission in Sonic Unleashed.
The fact that he hasn't died of septic shock indicates that he must have seen a doctor by now and had it cleared up. He was outwardly angry at the suggestions, but on some level it must have gotten to him, but he couldn't admit it in public.
If dubs, Chris bombs Sega HQ because of being a character in Sonic Boom.
