What was the last game Sid Meier released that did not have his name in the title?
Pirates? Anyway it would be dumb NOT to add his name to the title as it is well known and probably increases sales quite a bit.
It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars
In theory, this is correct. BUT like others have said this is a business. They have to try for name recognition just like in the movies to sell more product because after all they're in it to make cash. For example, you don't see TERMINATOR 2 you see ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER in TERMINATOR 2 because they know more people will go see the movie if they attach the big name to the title. It's all marketing. TERMINATOR 2 makes cash but SCHWARZENEGGER in TERMINATOR 2 makes big time CASH.
So...although it would be nice to have everybody's name on the box or just call it Civilization 3 so no one gets singled out I understand why this is done and I don't have a major problem with it.

i've never seen "John Carmack's: Quake"
...and I bet that name sells more.
It just looks stupid, wanting your name so bad on a box
Who? I honestly have never heard of this person. Isn't he the lead singer from that 70s band ACE?

I think he's the guy who did Quake (just a theory).
I have never heard of him either.
