Sid Meier Says, "History isn't important to me."
полная фраза:
"No, I didn't study history, rather programming. But I'm very interested in our past. I read a lot about it. But for our game, we didn't use any historical background. We make games so that they are fun. In this sense, history isn't important to me."
и еще:
"...As I said, gameplay is our highest priority."
краткий перевод: при создании компьютерных игр сама история не очень важна, большее значение имеет играбельность.
