You'd better avoid deity level when civ3 comes out

Hahaha, are u fu**ing crazy?. Programming is the BEST part of a game. It can be as addictive as playing a game. Whats better, play with something u have to adjust at, or play a game that u are programming that if u see something u want to change, just open the editor and add the code lines?

Think about it. You're Sid and you've got this team of programmers who are making this great game. You can do whatever you want in the project. So what exactly do you do for two years? Do you code? No. Do you do the designing? No. Do you work on the graphics and sound? No. You go home with a copy of the game and sit on your ass all day playing the game in your underwear, taking small breaks to make Ramen noodles for basic nutrition and to drink Jolt cola to insure that sleep will never get in the way of playing."Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch!" -- Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels

No really, I don't see anything wrong with it, he's earned where he's gotten himself. I really doubt many people who are the head of large companies do a lot of work themselves besides directing.Comment

I thought he would have more to do with Civ3 than that.... However, he didn't work on Civ2 that much either did he? And that turned out excellent.
Here's hoping.

Even as a developer, I find design, architecture, and feature selection much more interesting. Programming is very challenging, but to shape a strategic vision of a team of people....that is much more fun. You decide what features live and die, what the final product is....everything to your vision.
Sid doesn't need to code. He just has to ensure the product is good. And that is the way it should be. You do not have your five star generals polishing the weapons!Comment

Good! I'm glad to see that Sid (I'm so creative) Meyer had limited involvement. He constantly blabs about innovation, then goes and does a remake of a crappy game, the name of which I won't repeat. Face it the man's burned out if he wasn't already rich he'd be harrassing you for quarters on the sidewalk.

Exactly. But it takes quite some experience to realize that.Even as a developer, I find design, architecture, and feature selection much more interesting.
