* ''TabletopGame/{{D20 Modern}}'' includes one of these in a supplement -- the group causes destruction, death, and chaos for its own sake as part of a bizarre, paranoid, pseudo-religious doctrine.

* The protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' is nominally killing for money. But while in some games there was a given reason he needed the money, in ''[[VideoGame/HitmanBloodMoney Blood Money]]'' it was only used to buy upgrades so he could do more assassinations. Meanwhile, 47 was living in derelict warehouses. There is an overarching conspiracy going on, but 47 didn't care for it. He could've probably done the first 2, 3 hits without buying upgrades and live off the proceeds for the rest of his life, but he kills because he's been ''programmed'' to kill ''for his entire life'': it's all he's able to do. His attempt to retire at the opening of the second game only led to him being drawn back into the job. The money is just there to keep him on top of said job.
* The Heaven Smiles in ''VideoGame/{{Killer7}}'' are, as the game goes on, manipulated to various ends, but their original purpose is, to quote the game, "terrorism for the sole purpose of causing terror". Kun Lan, their creator, is a HiddenAgendaVillain who (as the game is a MindScrew) never ''quite'' reveals what that agenda is.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/{{Palworld}}'' has the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre, which started out as a reasonable nature-based {{cult}} that [[SacredFlames worshipped fire]]. Under the guidance of their [[TyrantTakesTheHelm new High Priest]], the BloodKnight Axel Traverse, they [[MotiveDecay devolved]] into a bunch of pyromaniac GangBangers committing random acts of violence for the sake of it.

* The villains in ''VideoGame/ElevatorAction 2'' desire to "Crash the Old Order", according to their graffiti, but they don't say what they want to make instead. Their leader mentions a New Society, but that's all.
