Civilization' creator: Games are taking over the world

(CNN) -- Sid Meier's "Civilization" is now 20 years old.

But for someone who has been involved in video games since the mid-'80s, one of Meier's early prophesies is just now coming true because of mobile and social gaming technologies, he told CNN.

"I've always said that games will someday take over the world and that seems to be happening," he said.

Meier is considered to be one of the great game designers. He serves as director of creative development for Firaxis Games. He sat down with CNN to reflect on the short history of video games and what he hopes will be their long future.

comment: Meier is considered to be one of the great game designers. I think that the prediction of Sid Meiers, is correct because everyone is using call of duty and other games. And in the future everyone is going to play games.
