Look, we get it. You spent time on the intro movies, credits etc. But we, as a gamer base, are sick and tired of this same old issue. You have to launch the launcher, hit Start, then wait, then hit left mouse button infinitely, then hit escape, then his space, then wait longer, then pick a character, then hit play, then wait…come on guys…give us an option to skip all this crap. It’s almost enough for me to stop playing combined with other issues. Fix this simple one. /soapbox off

At least we CAN skip all the splash screens.

Games that actually care about their players have a “/nosplash” command line option when you launch the game.
