it's called null for a reason 
it feels a purpose, for example CPU benchmark so the graphics don't weight much. And yes, for debugging purposes as well.
Let me reinforce the previous advice, avoid installing games at the default C:\Program files or it's (x86)... it's valid for PC games as well. The problems arise when the program/game tries to call plugins and mods. Although the application inherits the user's privileges it's not the user and then may activate the security system that silently treats it as possible "invader" and blocks access to protected resources.
Start installing in a folder yourself created, like C:\Games and all the problems related to access rights are gone or much reduced.
PS: in the least it's much better than having to play things with elevated privileges (administrator). This advice is specially important if you have Any level of UAC activated.
