dear video games: please stop defaulting to true fullscreen mode, nobody uses that anymore

It's still unclear to me if true fullscreen mode has any performance benefits.

@alyx it USED to when fake fullscreen was a new idea, but these days I find that games work worse that way, more often than not
@steakwipe
I never managed to notice anything performance wise, but alt-tabbing is much better in fake fullscreen. Even in Linux.
@alyx lol linux in particular has never appreciated a game taking over the display
games mostly work about the same in either mode, but if there's a difference (for me) its usually the true fullscreen mode being problematic. (most receent example i have is SWTOR, 100+ fps in fake mode, like 25 tops in true mode)
really i just think it'd be polite if games would just check the number of displays and set that accordingly
maybe i just like nitpicking, maybe i just get confused for a moment when i click over here to shitpost and the game vanishes
more likely i'm stalling on character creation
