Companies like Paradox Interactive or CDPR might be shady while putting on a hardcore gamer front to me but Firaxis has just gone full mainstream cash generator.
Sid Meier's Shameless Cash Grab

I've waited my whole young Civ playing life to see what Sid would come up with for what happens after you get to Alpha Centuri
The guys at Rock, Paper Shotgun compared it to Ace Patrol. I stopped reading at that point.

It is probably a licensing deal. He does little or nothing and get paid for them using his name. A pretty sweet deal if you can get it.
