I cannot think of a single commercially released game that behaves the way you want.
Did you expect Strategy First to buy the IP, but never mention anywhere that they're the publisher now?

Re: SE 4: Disabling Splash Screens?
Not at all Cap'n.
I wouldn't mind at all if they had a modest logo on the intro screen. We've got a decent amount of time waiting for the game to load all the datafiles, and that is prime time for having a logo.
I do take offense with a full screen ad that stops the game from loading the whole time it is up.
I've seen some games with 5-8 ads at the beginning... and I'm certainly not going to buy them. If it is ad supported, so be it, but don't expect me to buy it too. One form of payment is enough for me.

On further thought, I own at least two games that don't even let you click through the corporate logo splash; they won't respond until the intro movie starts.
Matryx's launcher is sufficient for my needs; Fyron's' feature list seems like overkill to me.

I tried to accommodate all the crazy configurations people use.  |

Doom and Warcraft come to mind.

Re: SE 4: Disabling Splash Screens?
I should also add that the inability to move Matryx' mod launcher around on the screen is what prompted me to make my own in the first place. |
