What pisses me off for the most part is that you first load the intro video, then you skip that and is just taken to a static screen where you click/press enter to continue, then it has to login so you wait again.
Why can’t the game logon while the videos are playing?

I’m pretty sure the unskippable videos are hiding the loading portions of the initial game.

For sure not true for a lot of games. Surely all the videos before the main menu isn’t it loading the main menu? How much processing power could a menu possibly take.

I think there are absolutely games that need the loading time

Source engine games still don’t load until after the bald man Valve intro is done playing. It’s been like 25 years.
