      If every single software a company licensed to produce a video game required this, you would be waiting an hour to see the start menu. Don’t let any company do this or they all will.

      Not only is it just 2 seconds, but it’s 2 seconds while the game is no doubt being loaded into memory while it plays anyway.

      This is like whining about the Pixar animation that plays before all of their movies (for much longer than 2 seconds).

        I would understand the complaint if it was longer, like 5 or 7 seconds long for just the Dolby logo. But its not.

        Like, if seeing a logo for two seconds bothers you that much, better close your eyes when driving riding the bus walking around town, otherwise you might see a dreaded billboard or advertisement.

          My state banned billboards for the same reasons.

          It’s a really good reminder when I’m ever in another state that things like that just… Aren’t needed.

          The advertising thing is a slippery slope, and it’s OK for people to draw the line for how far down the slope they’re willing to go higher up than you would. It’s also OK that your line comfortably holds a 2-second ad.

          No position here is unreasonable, and everyone should keep that in mind.
