Crash Course
Sim City 4 crashed while I was playing tonight. As I was reloading it, I realized that the EA Games and Maxis logos can’t be skipped. This seems like the height of arrogance. I paid to use their software, it broke, and I’m expected to look at their logos for fifteen seconds before I can—not resume where I was, but—re-do progress I’d lost.
So here’s a suggestion for publishers: if you’ve the audacity to think that your customers want to see your logo before having fun or getting work done, show us some respect; skip the logo when your program starts after a crash.
