Title. I always skip them and don't notice any detrimental effects at all. I used to let them run every time, but I don't want to wait 5 minutes for every patch update bug fix anymore

Usually not, but for some games it takes ages and I do end up skipping them. For example with Deadlock it took like 30-45 minutes after every update. Started skipping it at some point and never noticed any difference in performance.
