alt Hacker NewsIt's also the games. Let's count them:
1. A collection of logos of the 30 studios that contributed to the title somehow, skippable or not.
2. A bunch of EULAs that you have to click through at least on the first run.
3. An epilepsy warning that you always have to click through. I'm looking at you, Paradox and Vampire: Bloodlines 2. (For the record, I bought it extremely cheap, not at the launch price.)
4. On Playstation at least, the silly "press any button" screen. Why can't you give me the menu directly?
5. Another silly warning "this game has an autosave function". You may have to click through it or not.
6. If Rockstar, try to trick the user into launching the online component every time.

That sounds amazing. Yeah, it's annoying, but I'd imagine it's much safer for epileptics.
The Press Any Button screen is there so the game knows which input device is being used, and therefore (one way or another) which user, so it can apply any parental control/accessibility/etc. options required.
