dreik14168yThis "feature" is there in most games, I also don't get the point of having to press another button to load the menu. It's not like I wouldn't want it to load the menu 😕
But now I'm just wandering if it's just a trend or has a reason behind it... -
SmokedPig288y@dreik I think this is a side effect of the recent trend to move more content to the web and to just use an browser frame to render them and I can't decide how I feel about that
-
dreik14168y@SmokedPig this game design pattern is not really a recent thing. So, not sure that browser trend is the reason behind it.
But, when you have a slow laptop and every game loads extremely slow, these kinda things starts to be really annoying.

Dear Game-Devs,
if your game takes some time to load that's fine but please do NOT let me press a button after starting the game and THEN start loading the menu for some time and instead load the menu immediately! What's the point of that? If I know it takes some time I want to start it and maybe get a coffee and when I come back everything is loaded...
