Do you happen to remember what game it was? I haven't seen a case in over a decade where pure user-mode code caused a denial of service type attack on the OS. There is a possibility that kernel-mode DRM crap installed by the game caused problems in your case. When you're in kernel-mode though, all bets are off and no OS can save you. Also I don't understand what you mean by resilient to stupid programs? A general purpose OS should terminate badly written programs the instant it runs into a crashing-bug.
