When you beat a game, if given the option to, do you skip the credits?

It depends on how interesting the credits are. Text scrolling on a blank background is a skip especially if I don't care for the music. I'm not going to remember any names anyway. Sometimes I'll sit and browse my phone if it feels like there's a chance of something coming up mid sequence.
Not usually. I'm always paranoid that skipping the credits might also skip a post-credits scene. It's happened before.
Make a beautiful credits sequence with great music and I will watch. If it's just a long scrolling list of boredom I can't skip, you get the alt-f4 on PC or I kill the game task on consoles.
I only skip the credits if I've already sat through them once before.
Edit: I also sit through movie credits unless the people I'm with don't want to sit through the whole thing.

Care to explain why or are you too busy writing sibylline judgments on strangers opinions on a videogame forum?
Yes, I watch them. If a studio I know or co-developed game I like to know who worked on what in the game.
By this way I learned that Japan Studio didn't actually co-developed the game with Fromsoftware, rather maintaining publisher roles and duties.

I don't think I've had as much fun watching credits as I have watching Lego Movie 2's. It's so good!
I always watch. I have too many friends in the game and film industries, and I just feel like it's what I need to do (and it's awesome when I see their names).
To be honest yes I do skip them unless there is a secret ending or some kinda of bonus but if there isn't. Oh yeah 99% I do unless it's a classic rpg. I'm not sure why I just don't.
I generally only skip the credits if I've gone through the credits once before without skipping them. I generally don't watch them (unless there's something else going on during the credits). I usually use the opportunity to use the bathroom or prepare a snack or something. On rare occasion, a game will give you an achievement for "watching" the credits all the way through, and I'd hate to miss out on something so simple.
Voted the third one, but it doesn't even have to be particularly interesting, if it has good music and doesn't run for an absurd amount of time, I'll take some time to reflect on the experience, and then maybe look up something related to the game while it plays.
I still appreciate always having the option to skip them, though. I love replaying games, and it's a pain in the ass to be forced to wait every time.

Sure,
I think calling the list of people that developed the game that you just spent however many hours playing soulless is asinine.
You have an opinion. I think it's a bad take because of what I said. Or am I not allowed to share my opinion about yours?
✌🏽
I'll usually watch developer credits and skip the publisher/region credits. Usually know people throughout the credits so its nice to reflect and respect.
I feel like spending 60 dollars and giving all the praise to the developer as a whole via reviews, not to mention taking time out of the day(s) to experience their vision is basically doing my part in respecting the team. Already supported it but if there were people I personally knew then I would watch it. Other than that? Thanks for the enjoyment. *skip*
I skip it unless there's something interesting to watch.
I have a fucking controller in my hands, there's no reason this shit needs to scroll at such a slow speed or without any kind of manual page flipping. There have been games that I could have sworn the credits played through the entire soundtrack AND THEN STARTED AGAIN FROM THE BEGINNING before the credits finished.

Unless there's a video playing in the background that adds something to the game or some sort of interactivity (and even then I get bored), I'll skip asap. I don't need to waste my time watching a bunch of names scroll by.
Saw it in the theater and when the credits song was ABOUT watching the credits, I was like, oh my god they wrote this specifically for me. :)
I always skip credits. I have no interest in reading the names of people who worked on the game or in the studio's accounting department. It's also kind of weird that people think sitting through a 20 minute credit roll is somehow a sign of respect when you forget literally every name you just saw after it scrolls off the screen.
If you like the music and want to chill while the credits roll, or want to see if there's any fun extras tossed in, or maybe even know someone on the team and want to see their name then that's cool. But let's be real, sitting through credits is as empty and meaningless of a gesture as slapping a "Support our troops" ribbon magnet on your car

Maybe I am a weirdo (actually I know I am) but I like to let the credits roll and I try and read as much as I can. These are people that spent a good chunk of their time to craft whatever entertainment I just finished. Somehow I feel like its the least I can do.
Yes, you are. I think you will agree, however, that trashing another's opinion without arguing anything is equally asinine.
Pretty much this. It's not like people get an alert every time their name gets read off of a credits screen. Playing the game is showing your support.
This is probably the 100th time this community has had this debate though.
I usually let them run and come back in 15 minutes or so...if it's an Ubisoft game I come back the next day.
This is where I'm at. I'm afraid that if I skip I will miss some little snippet or cutscene at the end, and some games have tied achievements/trophies to watching the entire credit roll, so I usually just let it run and go make a sandwich or check my phone.
Skipping is for monsters.
I usually let them play, some credits sequences are really nice, with a good ending song and animations, like Spider-Man's for example or more like how Telltale's walking dead games end.
They're a good way to reflect and process the game and wind down.
But if they go on for too long I do skip.
