Do you watch the credits after you beat a game?

For games, I watch the credits every time, though I'll often do so while fiddling on my phone.

I leave them running but go on to watch something on my surface.
Maybe it makes them happy, I assume they track it.

Rarely watch credits. I drop the controller and then keep myself busy with other things while listening to the TV to make sure there isn't a special scene afterward.

If it's just a list of names, no. I'll let it roll while I do something else.
if there is concept art, game screens, etc.....anything else of interest, I'll watch them.

Yup.
All the smash games are a good example of credits i've watched/read thoroughly.
Splatoon, NSMBWii, etc. also have good interactive credits.
Edit: Also portals, because of the catchy songs.

If I can skip the credits, I do. But when I can't, I usually sit brought them until it redirects to the start screen or I realize I have to restart the console. Some of the old school RPGs were that way.

Hardly ever unless there's a particular reason like someone I'm familiar with or names of Kickstarter backers.

Depends on the music and mood. And absolutely no for Ubisoft games.

Another great example
Always. It's my chance to relax and reflect on the game, be happy about the little win of finishing something, and think about what to do next. The tranquil credits moments are kind of my reward to myself for winning. I also enjoy reading through the names and seeing if I recognize anyone.
Sometimes it can get on my nerves though. Rayman Origins was like that, and I think a lot of Ubisoft games are supposed to have the same long-credits issue. After a while it's just annoying. I get it, I get it.

I do... But only because I got burnt by 100% completion trophies that don't unlock till the end of the credits. Tomb Raider DE did this.
The "No Stone Left Unturned" trophy didn't pop although I got every GPS Cache, etc. There's no way to get it without replaying. Deleted the game and started watching every credit roll afterwards.

Yes.
Why would it bother you that some people like games primarily for the game parts?

I usually let them run their course, but I don't actively read them all.
It depends. For a game that I loved playing, the credits are often a good time to decompress and reflect on the experience I just had. Most recently, The Witcher 3 was great for this, I finished it after roughly 100 hours and it was nice to just sit back in that moment and appreciate the soundtrack while thinking about how my journey with these characters was over (I read the novels and replayed the other games just before it came out too).
Mass Effect 1 was fantastic in that regard also. It had a perfect choice of music to follow up a very suspenseful and thrilling finale after being inducted into this awesome universe to think about.

I let them roll while I sink in how the game ended. But if it goes on for more than 10 minutes, I skip.

Yes, if the music is good

Hell yeah I do. Someone poured years of their life, their passion and their talent to bring me this experience I just played. Whether I like the game or not, I feel the least I can do is acknowledge the individuals that created it. Plus I find it exciting to have your name in the credits for the "I made this!" moment. I'd want someone to see my name even if it wasn't an active acknowledgement. So yeah I watch all the credits even the long Assassin's Creed ones.

I normally do. Unless it's an Assassin's Creed game. My god.

Absolutely. Most of the time there's some great music and at the very least I can respect the amount of time and people put into making the games.
Yes, every single time, even if I beaten the game before. The only time I can remember skipping them was when it was on accident. Idk what it is but I feel a certain obligation to.
Another thing I'll do is I never mess with a multiplayer mode until I've beaten the single player first. So it's pretty much days before I ever touch a multiplayer match in COD/

Nope, it's just too boring. But if something like concept art or developer photos are shown then I might watch them for a bit.
