Isn't that basically the only example? How many other cases do you ever hear people talk about? Obviously there are others, I see others given in this post, but you never really hear about them.

When games had long load times, there was a company that patented putting short and quick to load mini games on screen instead of loading screens you just stared at.

Dragon ball fighting games did the little cloud thing

And nobody pateneted the loading screen slideshow with game tips? Im shocked

Unironically it was likely done too many times before someone thought of patenting it.

I thought there was one on games during loading screens or something as well. And maybe the crazy taxi arrow?
