IndustryGamers has posted a new interview with legendary game designer Sid Meier, creator of popular titles such as the Civilization series. The interview covers a variety of topics including Meier's early years, the state of console and PC gaming, and the future of the game industry.

IG: What's your prediction for the next 10 or 20 years for the game industry? Artistically, technically, and financially? Is gaming really going to become as ubiquitous a medium as television?

SM: I’ve always claimed that games will someday take over the world and from where things sit today, that seems to be happening. Artistically, games will continue to improve and become more life-like and technically we’ve already seen games advance to levels we wouldn’t have dreamed of when I started making games more than 30 years ago. I’d like to think games will continue to grow and become a larger form of entertainment. Already, we’ve seen games infiltrate the social space, on smartphones and social networks, so it only seems natural that that progression will continue into the future.
