They use those to hide them loading all their crap lazy bloatwear libraries loading in the background. It's like how apple loads a screenshot of the desktop first to disguise the load time.
I was just about to type this out. Back in the day splash screens were also loading screens.
The only splash screen I used to enjoy watching was Interplay's old laser etching FMV. That was a really cool screen and it also completely matched the vibe of games like Cyberia.
Yeah suffer with me bitch. I bought Forza Horizon 5 in the Summer Sale so i have at least 1 Arcade racer.
It's fucking inhuman. Ok, you had to rename 2 files to get rid of the intros, no problem, standard fare. But then the game itself. I swear to god it's like Cyberpunk. I want to actively murder every single character and the people who voice them.
Every single race, a loading screen masked with 'story'. Imagine the most sjw of sjws trying to sound cool and 'with it' while talking to a 3 year old while making what they seem to believe to be funnys.
Just give me a fucking normal static loading screen over that.
I'n on PC and i'm talking about the loading when you start a race. Where they tell you totally relevant and funny stories about their Papa Fernando all with cool and hip spanish midsentence.
I have no idea if it's gotten worse (generally avoid modern AAA games) but I imagine most of us are right there with you. In fact the "skip intro movies and splash screens" patch is the second thing I download for any new game.
Yeah there are games I get up to go get a drink or make some food the splash-segue is so long. Sometimes by the time I get back, I don't want to play anymore. Same with overly obnoxious dvd/blu-ray load-ins.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in decades...
Then how do we explain the games where you can skip them?
I say we demand higher standards.

Well that's your bong hit time

I have a little empathy for the tiny devs who don't want to pay the min $2k/yr to get rid of the Unity splash screen, but yeah it all gets old fast.
