I grew up playing emulators, so I don't really care that much.
Thenagain, I was scared of fullscreen games :)
 
I still have that fear when it comes to full-screen games from the
Win9x/early XP era. They were so... FRAGILE when it came to running in
full-screen (or, more importantly, when you tried to alt-tab out of
them). Back in the '95 days, switching away from a full-screen game
could lock up your computer (these days, the older game might lock up,
but you're PC will keep running fine otherwise. That's progress, I
suppose).
 
I've had the same problem with at least 2 of the recent games I played,
Deathloop and Dragon's Dogma.  Both would hard freeze the game if you
left it paused in fullscreen.  Even not alt-tabbing, a few minutes and
it would freeze.  I had to run both in windowed for them not to freeze.
 Those are rarer for me. Although I do worry about leaving the game
paused long enough for the screensaver to kick-in, since some games
don't play well when another application grabs hold of the 3D
renderer. So I almost always make sure to save/quit-to-desktop if I
know I'm going to be away from the computer for a while.
I haven't used a screen saver in so long I don't remember when the last time was.  I do have the power settings to turn off the screen after 15 minutes, but it was happening in less than 5 minutes.

But at least it isn't BSODing and taking down the whole PC like would
happen in the Win9x days.
True.
