Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

That's not the name of the game.

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
