    Am currently playing Hades, start the game, the game load, BAM, the menu screen. Such respect toward player’s time.

    In AAA games and a lot of indies, everyone involved/slightly involved want to show you their shiny logo, no skipping.

      Sadly the logos need to be there as part of their funding contracts most of the time

      Lol I don’t miss that at all either! Starting up a game was some buffet-pick of:

      • NVIDIA - the way it’s meant to be played.

      • ATI

      • HAVOK engine.

      • F-Mod

      • BINK video

      • EA GAMES - (challenge everything)

      • Ubisoft purple tunnel video clip

      • “This game might cause seizures BTW ask ur doctor idk.”

      • “Graffiti is art but it’s a crime we didn’t make you do it.” (JSRF lol)

      • NOW LOADING. . . . . . . . .

      • FINALLY. Start menu.

      And I remember clicking around and hitting ESC or the controller buttons in vain just out of sheer wishfulness. XD
