      How is a screen saver supposed to do anything to prevent burn in from games that have static images like the UI in an MMO or the scoreboard in a sports game?

        I suppose you could make software that periodically screenshots the thing, generates an average of the screenshots, and then sets a screensaver image that’s the inverse of that.
