Games that auto update your drivers? Are you thinking of Direct X perhaps?
Because games don't update/install graphic, network or sound drivers.
That would be very annoying, considering that not every game runs on the same driver(s).
Also, games are released for drivers that are out at that moment. Developers cannot see into the future and know what changes with future drivers.
Incompatibility happens quite often with games and drivers, though from what I know it really is up to companies like NVIDIA to fix it. Which to my knowledge they usually do.
