(Get the code!)
When playing a game you should still be using the computer--mouse and keyboard input should be detected and screensaver should not activate. If this is not the case, then this is definitely a bug.
If you actually are not pressing any buttons in your game for longer than your -chosen- screensaver timeout, then (that game really sucks!) you should just increase the screensaver idle timeout setting, and contact the game developer to ask them to disable screensaver on their game. I do find it rather odd that a game would have that long of a no-input sequence as to activate the screensaver. Maybe you just have it set ridiculously low (<10 min?)...
