I bitch about start screens, and proudly.

Well, jsut the garbage start screens that have 80 tiles for you to click on and half are for something you have to pay extra for, or ads for their other games, or their dumb meta coin progression system

Start screens that are just options on a static image? Yes fucking please.

@dom Yes, but that is specific "real" problems you actually experience, which have direct impact. But in the case of the Starfield screen, it's just a screen, that's it. People talk how good or bad the game might be, as the screen is indicative of the game quality. This is ridiculous! It's just a fucking screen and nothing else.

As said, if there was a lot of garbage, then you could criticize the garbage and extra advertisement and such. These are concrete problems, not imaginations what the game quality might be. That is different from the case you talk.
