If you don’t know who Sid Meier is, then welcome to video gaming. I hope you enjoy your stay. Essentially, he’s the father of modern video gaming, with companies like MicroProse and Firaxis under his belt. Sid’s pirate game, um, Pirates!, has been translated into new forms and versions for the past twenty years or so. The dude knows his gaming. So when Sid Meier sits down to talk shop, it’s worth listening. Industrygamers has the story.
The future of gaming is that games are taking over the world. This will be especially true once we descend into virtual reality life-support chambers to escape the climate-change death triggered by methane outgassing in the next decade or so.
