I will always watch the credits

Whether it be for a films, video games, television shows, etc. I always have this sense of moral obligation to watch the credits of a creative work in their entirety, at the very least the first time through anyway. A collaborative creative work is something to be respected. Whether or not I personally enjoyed such a work, I can acknowledge that many hours of dedication were poured into making something out of nothing. I know I'll never remember all of the names of those who worked on projects of this nature, but I feel as though I owe it to them to watch as their names pass over the screen. It's a minor acknowledgement of their contribution to something that in most cases, good or bad, will have an affect on the way that I perceive the world. I guess the best parallel would be similar to why people visit cemeteries. In truth, it doesn't accomplish anything tangible, it's more of a form of respect for a person who's participation is invalid. I'm not saying that those who don't do this are bad or disrespectful, it's just a personal quirk of mine.
