Games and game-like elements have found their way into many aspects of our lives, from serious games to even our cars. Sid Meier knows a thing or two about taking over the world, having made Civilization and he thinks that games are well on there way.
“I’ve always claimed that games will someday take over the world and from where things sit today, that seems to be happening. There are so many different gaming platforms and a constant stream of new games for players to enjoy in any way they choose, which is great for gamers, said Meier. “I think now is one of the most exciting times to be a game designer. With the rapid growth of social network games there are new opportunities for smaller indie developers to make and distribute games, so we re seeing a wider variety of games on all kinds of cool devices than ever before. That s great for the whole industry.”
