I've always wondered why his name is on the game like that.
why is it called SID MEIER'S civilization
Firaxis Games (Sid, the man behind the games)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier's_Pirates!
"It was the first game to include the name "Sid Meier" in its title as an effort by MicroProse to attract fans of Meier's earlier games"
Guess it worked and has stuck since then.
Apparently it's because someone else suggested it. One of those people might have been Robin Williams, which is pretty awesome.
Interesting, but now I feel even more confused =\

I think the key point here is that it wasn't Meier's idea, and that it was suggested it be done to promote brand recognition. And hey, it worked.
Because one of these days I am going to buy Sid Meier's Sid Meier The Videogame
I would absolutely buy an autobiography entitled "SID MEIER's Sid Meier".
I was always under the assumption that it was to differentiate the computer game from the board game.
