A Chat with Sid Meier


We tried, at this year’s GDC, to have a quiet sit down with a number of different developers. And for a number of different reasons, many of them fell through, but I was able to beg 2K into giving me 15 minutes with one of the developers who probably most adversely effected my college career: Sid Meier. If it weren’t for Civilization it probably wouldn’t have taken me six years to get my two bachelors degrees… OK, that’s probably not true, but I did spend a shocking amount of time playing his games in college.

In this 15 minute chat we talk about the death of the PC gaming market, how GDC has evolved and what type of character he plays in WoW… among other things.
