The big ones that affect gaming are removing and reinstalling various runtimes (C++, .Net, Python, Java).
In most cases just getting them all installed side by side by side is great for both development and gaming.
But once in awhile, I just got a favorite game working, and it relies on the exact redistributable that I need to upgrade, tweak or reinstall to try out a new code library.
After procrastinating a couple times from such experiments, I started running separate gaming and dev boxes whenever possible.
