Sid Meier Q&A

Just Your Average Gaming God on The Escapist is a Q&A with Sid Meier, following up on that deified headline by asking what it's like to be an icon and about his responsibilities as a "pillar of the videogame industry." They also get into the nitty-gritty of the game industry, touching upon ongoing questions about the state of gaming on the PC versus consoles:

I think PC gaming and console gaming have different strengths. I think we're seeing a lot of people taking advantage of those strengths. That's why we're seeing more independent games being made for the PC because of the internet being a more open environment. You also see MMO games flourishing on the PC because they kinda lend themselves to that platform. And a lot of the high-tech action games are flourishing on the consoles, 'cause the consoles do a good job with that. With [Xbox] Live and the PSN, we're seeing a lot of multiplayer in consoles where that used to be an exclusively PC thing. We're lucky to have a game concept in Civilization that works well on both platforms.
