** Many [[http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Renewable_resource guides]] stress the role of [[GreenAesop renewable resources]], as while it's possible to expand one's range of exploration to find more non-renewable resources, they will eventually run out if the player stays in the same zone.

* ''VideoGame/MySimsAgents'' has three areas -- the Mountains, Boudreaux Mansion, and the Jungle Temple -- that are each visited as part of the plot, and after you complete their individual storylines they cannot be accessed again. ''Agents'' also has a variety of hidden goodies strewn throughout the game, from hairstyles and clothes for your agent to decorations for rooms back at headquarters. Some of these items are hidden among the one-time areas, meaning once you leave you no way of retrieving them again outside of starting a new save.

* ''VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsLightsCameraPants'' can permanently lock you out of rewards if you do not understand how the game's unlocking system works. Each level in the game has three tiers (bronze, silver, and gold), each tier has a unique reward, and if you move up to the next tier in the Story Mode, you cannot return back, which means any unobtained reward will be lost with no way to get them short of restarting Story Mode.

* During the La Lusty Geisha Bistro level in ''VideoGame/MadWorld'', there are three separate geishas to rescue. If Jack loses a life while trying to rescue one, however, that geisha will be KilledOffForReal, and will ''remain'' dead for the rest of the save file. As [[spoiler:the ones you rescue will throw you healing items during the final boss fight]], it behooves you not to let this happen.

* ''VideoGame/WorkersAndResourcesSovietRepublic'': The vehicles have a "production date", and when it expires, the vehicle can no longer be bought. In late game, that can happen with entire classes of vehicles. Subverted because you can produce them yourself. Patents can be bought even for vehicles discontinued decades ago. The manufacturing plant and patents are a large upfront investment, though.

* A unique example in ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' and an example of one of these in a tabletop RPG game. Only a day after the party of Campaign 2 reaches Darktow Isle, a lawless pirate haven ruled over by the [[KingOfThieves Plank King]], they are promptly exiled under threat of death. This blocked the party from further exploring the island, despite including several story hooks for one of the characters' backstories.

** The Pet Goldfish, Panky Doll, and Ao Boshi Matsuri CD can only be obtained during the Star Night festival. Once the festival ends and day rolls over, they will be unobtainable for the rest of the game.

** Challenge rewards can only be obtained one time per band. While the "impossible [instrument] challenges" clearly show what the costumes look like (before coloring), the "Impossible Marathon, part 2" challenge has a reward of ONE (not a set. ONE) "crazy instrument" for each active player, corresponding to whatever instrument that player cleared Painkiller with. In order to get all 4 crazy instruments on one character, the entire challenge ladder must be gone through four times, each one in a different band. The amount of time one such run takes is comparable to the time it takes to clear [[MarathonBoss Endless Setlist II]]. Remedied in Rock Band 3 -- unlock once, use on every character you want for that profile.

* The Youtube channel WebVideo/UnusAnnus, a social experiment by Youtubers LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}} and Ethan (of ''Crank Gameplays''), which was deleted one year after its creation as per its creators' wishes. The entire gimmick of the channel is that they'll upload one video a day for a year, then the channel is deleted, and everything becomes a memory of the viewers. Granted, some people got the idea wrong and erroneously believe that [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain the channel should not be mentioned after the project ended]]. And some people tried to defile the message of the project by re-uploading entire episodes against their wishes (Mark has said that short clips are okay, but not full episodes), although these tend to get reported really quickly by fans.

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'': ''World of Light'' has a sub-area with a theme on answering trivia questions, where you are given multiple spirits and have to beat the one that serves as the answer. Getting the right one on your first try will spawn a path leading to the next area and a treasure chest. However, getting an incorrect one will mean that the treasure chest will not appear when you go back and beat the correct spirit. Downplayed since those specific treasure chests only contain Skill Points and Snacks, which can be obtained en-mass through regular gameplay.
