Sure they are -- how many games that come out now are copies/alterations of his original Civilization game? At this point, yes, they are milking what they came up with before. So you could fault them for that...........but at least they were the originators. He came up with brilliantly innovative games in the 1980s. There are very few designers/companies who do anything innovative today. Peter Molyneaux is obviously an exception............Will Wright too, I suppose. And I wouldn't be surprised if Sid Meier comes up with something else new before he's finished.
