    Sid Meier’s Civilization is a weird name.

      Any game with the designer’s name in it is dumb to me. The worst example is American McGee’s Alice, mainly because the guy has a confusing name that makes the title sound especially dumb.

        It’s originally used by the game company to denote “this is one of those weird things HE’s making, not our usual games” as a sort of sign of distrust from the marketing department

        Meyer was just so good at what he did that it quite quickly turned into a badge of quality instead and the convention stuck
