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.

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.
