Thanks for the explanation. I still find it weird that developers spend time on that screen if it servers no real purpose, at least nowadays

That makes sense. But I was talking about games where you only go to the main menu after pressing a key

Whats the point of those screens anyway? I just started the game and waited for the loading screen. What else do you think I would want to do but continue? Oh, yes, nothing, because it is literally the only option. Then just send me to main menu right away instead of wasting my time

If that surprises you wait until you learn what happens if you have an Xbox Controller and do not update the firmware for some time. It might just start crashing your window manager (component of the Windows operating system) at random times for some reason and the games you are playing just suddenly minimize one or two times per hour.

Have I mentioned I try to use Linux wherever the software I want to use is available for it?
