This video has been reformatted and is streamed from the Stanford website. As far as I can tell, there should be no restriction on access from off-campus:
Interfacing to Microworlds, Will Wright, Maxis in SearchWorks catalog (stanford.edu) (April 26, 1996)
Laughing Creative Communities: Lessons for the Spore community experience, Will Wright, Maxis / Electronic Arts in SearchWorks catalog (stanford.edu) (May 22, 2009)
If you have issues viewing the videos, please let me know and I will pass the information along to our media lab.
Having had the pleasure of Will lecturing in my Stanford course on one or two occasions, I am glad to see that these examples of his thinking (and lecturing style!) are available.
Please consider sending important documents to Stanford for preservation. We offer one of the leading collections of game-related archival material for research and instruction and our streaming services are robust.
All my best,

Stanford Library has just recently made these available!
I uploaded this one to youtube and closed captioned it, and I'll get around to the others when I have the chance.
There are a LOT of really excellent historic videos in the collection by many other amazing people.
