Gonna just completely ignore that said 2s is otherwise unneeded so you can feel like you still have a point, hm?

Seeing an ad while walking does not require me to stop what I'm doing and wait for the ad. Putting an unstoppable ad in your pre-game logo does

Loading screens in a game take longer than two seconds and don't have the benefit of running one time before the game starts and adding surround sound support. So you would rather be greeted with a black screen as a game with less features loads instead?

Great idea.

People in this thread don't want to waste 2 seconds per use of a video game on a logo screen, but will happily waste the day discussing it.

Yeah. It's called principles. Maybe when your corporate overlords have some for sale you'll be and to afford them.
