But do you as that person need to know that fact every time you launch the game or is finding out about it before you buy it from it's technical information sufficient?
You can care about surround sound options, but a non skippable splash screen on every launch gives you zero information or use.
Nobody is advocating for the sound to play at startup. The comment that started this conversation specifically uses the word "looking". We're just saying people do pay attention to what kind of surround sound something has.
