* ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters'': This is basically the crux of [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersAshCrimson Ash Crimson]] as a character. To keep it short, he steals the powers of Chizuru Kagura and Iori Yagami, pits his own teammates against each other, works with the BigBad of his saga ([[PlayingBothSides seemingly]]), and is an all-around '''''huge''''' {{troll}} to everyone he meets. The end goal of which [[spoiler:was [[HeroicSacrifice his sacrifice]] by way of resetting the timeline so that ''[[RetGone he never even existed]]'' - which also meant that everyone would effectively [[LaserGuidedAmnesia forget about his actions]] in the first place, at least InUniverse]].

* Meta-example with Taiwanese developer-slash-bootlegging outfit NTDEC, whose full name was '''"Nintendo Electronic Co."''' Unsurprisingly, Creator/{{Nintendo}} filed a trademark lawsuit and brought the whole operation down for widespread bootlegging of NES games, but while most pirates sought to weasel themselves out of a trademark case by mincing if not outright removing Nintendo's trademarks, (an example of which are those pirate UsefulNotes/GameBoy multicarts with the wordmark "Nintendo GAME BOY" replaced with just "GAME") NTDEC simply didn't care if they appropriated Nintendo's name and the ''VideoGame/PacMan'' logo whilst they were at it. Surprisingly enough, they're still apparently operating to this day, albeit under the name Asder whose modus operandi is now in the production of children's educational electronic toys.

* In the web game ''[[VideoGame/ChoiceOfGames Choice of the Vampire]]'', an ancient vampire governor asks the fledgling player character's opinion on who should be the next lord of the city. They can name themselves, in which case the governor astonishes the appalled crowd by laughing in admiration of their sheer pluck. However, if the fledgling is a ''total'' nobody in vampire society at the time, she'll coldly snub them, so the trope only stretches so far.

* ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty: VideoGame/ModernWarfare2''. The Russian plot hinges on the idea that [[spoiler:nobody would believe that they'd launch a large-scale suicide attack against Washington, DC]].
