According to this announcement at Gamastura.com:
CMP’s 2008 Game Developers Choice Awards, the highest honors in game development acknowledging excellence in game creation, will honor computer strategy game luminary Sid Meier with a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s ceremony taking place at the Game Developers Conference (GDC). The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes the career and achievements of developers such as Meier who have made an indelible impact on the craft of game development, as he has with the creation of a number of genre-defining titles including Civilization and Pirates!I am currently beating my head against the wall that is Civ 4 at the moment, and got many years of pleasure out of the original Civilization and especially Civ 2. I also remember vividly playing F-15 Strike Eagle in the mid-80s and later F-19 Stealth Fighter. Because of what he has meant in my gaming history, I will be honored to be able to be present for this ceremony. Sid Meier truly is one of the great game designers in the industry and I personally salute him and thank him for his contributions.
Congratulations, Sid! Keep it coming!
