"For the past 28 years, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences has recognized those who have made a significant contribution to the video game industry, from those creating iconic characters and games that have become cultural cornerstones, to those who have inspired others to create games or provided opportunities for the next generation or developers without the necessary resources to shine in a competitive working environment."
"Intrinsically linked to his own Civilization series by means of having his name on the title of every game, Sid Meier is a pioneer for turn-based nation-building strategy games. His career began in 1981, developing non-commercial copies of arcade classics such as Space Invaders and Pac-Man. He would then found MicroProse, which specialized in flight simulation games before pivoting due to the success of Sid Meier's Pirates! and Railroad Tycoon."
The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences has honored influential video game contributors for 28 years, recognizing creators of iconic characters, games, and industry enablers. Inductees include individuals who inspired others, provided opportunities for emerging developers, or overcame resource barriers. Inductees are listed chronologically from the first recipient in 1998 to the most recent, with notes when multiple people from the same company were inducted in 2011 and 2014. No inductions occurred in 2015 because the Pioneer award honored two people, and the 2021 presentation occurred virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each inductee entry details achievements and notable activities before and after induction.
