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?

Most OLEDs today ship with logo detection and will dampen the brightness on static elements automatically.

While it isn't a silver bullet, it does help reduce burn in since it is strongly linked to heat, and therefore to the pixel brightness. New blue PHOLEDs are expected to also cut burn in risk. Remember that LCDs also used to have burn in issues, as did CRTs.

And other means of preventing it like pixel shift and refresh. Time will tell how long the current generation lasts but it's only going to get more and more easily mitigated.

Ah sportsing!

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.
