[SUGGESTION] Please give us the option to remove the credits watermark, the OLED fix doesn't prevent burn-in #204

I understand the intent here. But the best solution to prevent the watermark burning in on OLED monitors, is to not have it there to begin with.

To go into a bit of a more detailed explanation, burn-in on OLED monitors doesn't just occur from having similarly colored elements persistent on one area of the screen. It's more that the pixels - each of which are self-emitting - are constantly being powered & projecting a static element on one area of the screen, regardless of the color. This constant powering of the pixels lowers their luminance over time, leading to image retention. In other words, the "burn-in" can more accurately be described as the pixels slowly burning out.

So, with all that said, having the watermark shift colors isn't actually fixing the issue (shifting the pixels would, but that's monitor-specific tech). If the element is on there for long enough in any color other than pure black - because the pixels in OLED's are turned off in order to display black - burn-in can occur. In addition, I like to record my gameplay & having the watermark in the footage is really distracting & could potentially affect editing.

or random location ?

I looked in some files using hexeditor and was able to change all their nicknames and version to blank strings, so that the footer ended up looking like [, , ] but that's hardly a solution.

I'd rather have an option to diable this footer watermark by paying a few bucks to their paypal and recieving a code to unlock this functionality. Feels like it would be a good compromise for insentivising donations while not locking core features behind a paywall (no matter how small).
