This was common in early Windows video games and has the unfortunate effect of resizing other application windows to match the new resolution if it's smaller than their earlier window size. For example, a window stretched to take advantage of 1080p display resolution will be significantly reduced in size when a game resizes the desktop to 640×480 while it runs and this is not automatically restored.
