sid because civ 4> fable 1,2,3 put together, civ 5 not so much



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Sid Meier for Civilization series, Colonization, Alpha Centauri, Railroad Tycoon series, all very addictive games.
I also enjoyed his early work in F15 strike eagle and F19 stealth fighter.

Peter Molyneux made some great games with Bullfrog productions but has gone down hill starting with black and white. I wish he would give Fable a rest, the first one was good but now it's getting really bad.

I notice their are four contenders in the image posted. Out of those four I would have to vote for Reggie. However out of Peter Molyneux or Sid Meier I'd vote Sid Meier!

If I were a strategy fan, I'd vote for Sid, but except for Myth I and II that are actually real time tactics (and aren't Sid games, but Bungie ones), I'm not, and Sid's influence outside of strategy is little, so, despite often disappointing after all the hype he inflates his projects with, for all the excellent games he made I'll vote for Molyneux.

Both are (or have been) fantastic developers. Both developers revolutionised PC gaming with their early work.

I would say, however, because of what Molyneux has become, that Meier is more important, so I vote for Sid Meier.
