Two CRAP polls in a single month? I know, we're blessed! But it's not like I have anything better to write about (unless you want me to go on about NFTs again. No? Then do the poll!) ===== This one is simple: do you ever watch a game's end credits to the end? 1) Always! I need to know everyone involved with creating the game I just played, including the caterer! 2) Yes, but I fast-forward through them, or only watch until I see the info I'm interested in (like the name of the caterer) 3) Sometimes... only if I really like the game. 4) Sometimes... but only if there's some 'bonus' to it, like a secret scene, amusing animations, really good music or an achievement for doing so. 5) Only if I forget to ESC out of it 'cause I'm asleep or am AFK 6) Never! Get these words away from me! I care not for the developers (much less their favorite caterer)! 7) The games I play don't end, so I never reach the credits. 8) I only play games that don't let me skip the credits (Hello Ubisoft!) ===== I'm definitely in Camp #4, and it's almost always because they've got some cool tune rockin' in the background. Sorry devs, I know you put a lot of effort into the game but honestly, I couldn't care less about seeing your names. But let me head-bop one last time to the soundtrack and I'm staring at that scroll till it ends. Or the music ends, whichever comes first. But if I don't like the music in the game? I'm slamming ESC to get out of it so fast it's a wonder my keyboard doesn't break. But that's just me. Where do you fall on the Spectrum of End Credit Watchiness (SECW)?
