Is Robin Williams the reason Sid Meierās Civilization is called Sid Meierās Civilization? I was just rereading our profile of the iconic game designer and stumbled upon this anecdote, which seems appropriate to share again now:
Stealey has a different take: āWe were at dinner at a Software Publishers Association meeting, and [actor] Robin Williams was there. And he kept us in stitches for two hours. And he turns to me and says āBill, you should put Sidās name on a couple of these boxes, and promote him as the star.ā And thatās how Sidās name got on Pirates, and Civilization.ā
