* In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', Lillie calls out [[spoiler:her mother]] for treating her Pok´mon like they're nothing but objects that she can use and discard as she pleases. In response, [[spoiler:Lusamine]] snaps back that Pokémon Trainers essentially do the same thing as they regularly remove Pokémon they no longer have any use for from their party. PlayedForDrama as the "storage system" here is Poké Pelago, a series of islands where the player's Pokémon can hang out and do different activities.

* ''VideoGame/DyztopiaPostHumanRPG'': In an inversion of ApeShallNeverKillApe, Asterisk holds the party in contempt for [[spoiler:killing Gemini by shattering her Zodiac stone. When the party retorts that Gemini was planning to kill the other Zodiacs, Asterisk states that it's okay for archdemons to kill each other and that they've done so in the past, it's not okay for mortals to do so. It's implied the archdemons are incapable of permanently killing each other even if they wanted to, though Asterisk made sure to create Faceless clones as backups in cased an archdemon actually dies. Strangely, this sentiment isn't shared by archdemons Libra and Leo, who believe the party was justified in killing Gemini]].

* MotorMouth: Morgan has an infamous habit of spontaneous rambling.

* Unsurprisingly, Dr. Wily from the ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' franchise has this in spades, such as in ''VideoGame/MegaMan11'' when he steals the 8 robot masters and reprograms them to be used against Mega Man and Dr. Light, and ''then'' turns around and is genuinely cross at Mega Man and Dr. Light for stealing his Double Gear system and using it against him. While they ''were'' [[VillainHasAPoint using his original prototype (and how it was the only other reason why he loses this time)]], [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Wily was the one who threw it away years ago in a fit of anger.]] Light simply kept and repaired it as a TragicKeepsake [[ChekhovsGun that he never thought would come in handy.]]

* In ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'', you play as Aiden Pearce, who can be easily described as a shameless, remorseless thief, con artist, fraudster and a murderous criminal, which shows little compunction towards working with mobsters, torturing his enemies or simply killing anyone who gets in his way. However, you spend much of the game taking out other thieves, fraudsters and muderers in a way that implies Pearce somehow has the moral high ground, with him living up to the title of "vigilante". It is jarring that you get points for beating up pickpockets, but there is little to no comment on Pearce draining innocent peoples bank accounts or stealing cars. It's hard to walk away from the game not feeling like a massive hypocrite.
