Wow. I always assumed that profiling would be part of the pre-release test processes for AAA games...

More importantly how do you release a game that takes 6 minutes to load? This is why mobile gaming has the advantage. In those 6 minutes I could have played a round of a game that’s quite satisfying and put it down already. This just seems sloppy.

I've actually opened a game with long loading times and alt tabbed out, because I knew it would take a while. I booted up another game to play a little bit until the first game finishes loading. 3 hours later I was done playing and realized that I was supposed to play game #1.
