I'm glad we have finally gotten to a technological point where games just go right to the god damn menu the moment you power on the machine (or at least, good ones without an hour of unskippable logos and disclaimers), since that was what I had originally, you know, back before the CD era and everything was solid state. You'd pop in an NES, Master System, SNES or Genesis cart in, power it on and BAM! the game is already going.

Not that I am not nostalgic for the PS1, PS2, Dreamcast and GameCube startup sequences.

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
