I recently started doing this for all of my games! It helps a TON when modding, and for general “Okay, cool. I’ve seen this 10 times now!” moments. It’s especially helpful when you click Play on Steam, and it just boots to the game main menu screen.
I don’t mind watching them the first time, as I used to watch all the actual video game intro videos for my PS2/Gamecube/Wii/etc. My problem is after the first or second time, just stop fucking showing them!

Love to spend $70 on a game and then spend another thirty minutes to an hour learning how to hotwire it to start in a timely manner.

But think of the time saved! Only need to launch it 30-60 times for that payoff.

There’s your problem, you’re buying new games!

usually it boils down to deleting a specific file or adding a parameter (a symbol and a short word) to the launched application, but I’m not here to judge other people’s reading speed.

Sure. But finding which file/character to alter isn’t intuitive. It typically requires knowing about a forum where people fix this stuff all the time or pitting your GoogleFu against whatever godless SEO and anti-optimization your favorite search engine is running.
