- Credit
- Sam Machkovech reporting Sid Meier's GDC 2017 talk on Civilization's origins, with Bruce Shelley in the audience and on stage.
- Notes
- The report puts Meier's own words in quotation: his first version "stirred together" SimCity, Railroad Tycoon, Empire and the British board game Civilization. It is a news report of a talk, so cite it as a report of Meier's statement rather than as the talk itself.
