I guess I’m wrong then. I’ve only ever seen it referenced as Civ 6. I’m pretty sure that’s the title on PS5 and Switch, but I’ve been mistaken before (once or twice).
Any game with the designer’s name in it is dumb to me. The worst example is American McGee’s Alice, mainly because the guy has a confusing name that makes the title sound especially dumb.
It’s originally used by the game company to denote “this is one of those weird things HE’s making, not our usual games” as a sort of sign of distrust from the marketing department
Meyer was just so good at what he did that it quite quickly turned into a badge of quality instead and the convention stuck
Civ
That’s not the name of the game.
Sid Meyer’s Civ 6, is the name of one game. If you’re unfamiliar with the franchise then you might not have any clue what the game is about.
No it isn’t. It’s straight up called Civilization VI everywhere. What are you smoking ?

It doesn’t say “Civ” anywhere in the promotional text.

Sid Meier’s Civilization is a weird name.
Its the same idea as Stephen King’s IT
