One of the most well-known names in the gaming industry is Sid Meier, who brought us the legendary Civilization series over the last few decades (as well as some other titles which few of us can remember the name of) said a few things at the recent Games Developers Conference about what makes a gamer tick. He’s a level-headed guy who seems to have a clear view on what gamers are all about, and says some interesting and controversial things such as “games should have moral clarity”, “players are egomaniacs” and “Game play is a psychological experience”. Interesting insight from a guy who actually knows something.
