Going green

2K Games has recently detailed how Civilization 5 will be an environmentally-minded, socially responsible release.

 

Among other things there is a small non-interactive sample of the interactive game manual:

We've made the formerly 200+ page printed manual an improved interactive PDF. This PDF manual allows you to click on screenshots to see them clearer than thumbnails, navigate much easier with clickable links, and most importantly, look forward to manual updates as we make changes to the game.

Uhm, this isn't exactly new or novel. A good step nonetheless.

I presume the discs are going to be made of cardboard?

Soylent green, more likely... >:]

Soylent groan.

Call me a tree killer if you like but I really enjoyed the nice thick manuals of the old Civ games. I'd noticed they were getting thinner, at least with Civ IV, but now they're all but extinct. I still have my old Alpha Centauri manual. A novella all to itself. Alas, o' slab of compressed woodpulp, I shall miss thee.
