Sid Meier is an ageing gamer!

Gamespot has a keynote speech given at the Game Developers Conference 2010 by legendary games designer Sid Meier, the man behind the Civilization games. At the end he is asked: "When I was young, I loved the detail of your games. Now, as an ageing gamer, I find the choices overwhelming [just as I often do myself]. How do you deal with that?" He replied that he, too, is an ageing gamer, and his response to that was Civilization Revolution, which was designed for the non-hardcore audience. "Not that you wouldn't want to play the full PC experience of Civilization V!" he then joked. How true. perhaps ageing gamers are also masochists...
