minus-square Donut ( @Donut@leminal.space ) linkfedilink35•20 days agoCan it still be called “Sid Meier’s” Civilization when he doesn’t even know what the game ships with? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been playing since CIV2 and it’s been pretty good, but that just strikes me as weird.

minus-square Donut ( @Donut@leminal.space ) linkfedilink19•20 days agoWell, Sid Meier did originally design Civ, Todd Howard was “just” a director / producer.
