Whoa! 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)?

Honestly, hard to say. I think I'd fall somewhere between 2-4? I'm also
in the weird camp of not actually having seen credits in a while.. If
the credits have some interesting visuals or something similar, I'll
probably watch it, otherwise I skip or go get some water or something.
My favorite credits are the ones that implement a minigame, tho, since
it feels waay more fun and almost kinda anime intro-y? Like, Rhythm
Heaven (DS and Wii) made completely unique games for their credits, and
even give medals for them.
I do wish more games would give a fast forward button, though.
