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.
