* In the third DLC Scenario of ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsSparksOfHope'', ''Rayman in the Phantom Show'', the final battle against the Phantom starts with a TheHeroSucksSong, just as he did in ''Kingdom Battle'', but the first verse is directed specifically at Rayman, and very heavily referencing how Rayman had been pushed OutOfFocus by The Rabbids.

* In the Los Angeles mission of the Japanese Campaign in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'', the player can (and is actively encouraged with rewards) blow up the [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA]]-Los Angeles building. Upon its destruction, a Japanese soldier will yell "''Your ill-begotten products shall taint the shelves no more!''"
* ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsGame'' was filled with jokes directed at Creator/ElectronicArts.
* The first thing one [[{{Pun}} saw]] upon booting up ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' for the N64 was the typical N64 logo... which is immediately ripped apart by Conker with a ''{{chainsaw|Good}}'', to be replaced by the Creator/{{Rare}}ware logo. This is probably a good first indicator of what someone seduced by the game's disarming appearances is actually in for...

* Reggie Fils-Aime of Nintendo fame considers the ''VideoGame/{{Blur}}'' commercial, a TakeThat at ''VideoGame/MarioKart'', to be this [[http://www.nintendoeverything.com/43116/ on the basis]] that the game's publisher, Creator/{{Activision}}, also did the ''VideoGame/{{GoldenEye|2010}}'' remake exclusively for Nintendo. On a similar note, ''Blur'' was developed by Creator/BizarreCreations. When ''Blur'' failed to meet sales expectations, Bizarre went defunct and most of their employees went to SUMO Digital, and helped them develop ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed]]''. A company that made fun of the kart-racer genre in a commercial, then went on to ''developing'' a kart-racer.
* Overlapping with SelfDeprecation, ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' has the Human Noble origin: [[RatStomp "Giant rats?]] It's like [[VideoGame/BaldursGate the start of every bad adventure tale my grandfather used to tell."]] Though, this is probably less a joke about Baldur's Gate itself and more a joke about how every other RPG of the era copied Baldur's Gate for no good reason. The first combat encounter in practically every single RPG (both singleplayer and multiplayer) made in the period between 1995 and 2000 was rats (generally [[RodentsOfUnusualSize giant]]). While Baldur's Gate was not the first game to have giant rats as a low-level encounter, it was almost assuredly ''because'' of Baldur's Gate that so many games used this as the first combat encounter/combat tutorial. At the time when ''Dragon Age'' was made, those who had played Baldur's Gate and its imitators as children were now adults: meanwhile [=RPGs=] had long ceased to be so uncreative with their combat tutorials, and the only holdover of that era was ''VideoGame/{{Runescape}}'' (which managed to be far more than a Baldur's Gate clone thanks to its robust crafting system).
* Strong Bad does this quite often towards Creator/TelltaleGames in ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'' and its making-of mockumentary ''Behind The Bad'' (and eventually carried over in ''VideoGame/PokerNightAtTheInventory''), usually complaining about how they never follow his idea of the "perfect" Strong Bad video game. This, however, is subverted near the end of "8-Bit Is Enough" when the developers [[ThrowTheDogABone finally made an albeit lo-res polygon render of a concept sketch from Strong Bad for the episode's final battle]], [[HellYesMoment and Strong Bad couldn't be more happy about it.]]
* Creator/{{Nitrome}} did this and a bit of SelfDeprecation with their 100th game, ''Nitrome Must Die''. Example: in one level, the whiteboard in the background shows ideas for a new game... with a deadline of 8 hours.
* Crossing over with TakeThatAudience, Creator/ValveSoftware pokes fun at a specific type of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' modders (*cough*[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic pony]]*cough*) in [[https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7388-QPFN-2491 this page.]] This was after it was discovered that Valve CEO Gabe Newell watches the show.
* In the ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' GameMod ''VideoGame/PortalStoriesMel'', Virgil says that test chambers usually need to be tested three times before they're finalized, and that apparently, [[Memes/ValveSoftware "some people just can't count further than that"]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'': In ''VideoGame/UltimaV'', "ELECTRONIC ARTS" is found in the profanity filter file. In ''VideoGame/UltimaVI'', the pirates are named after Electronic Arts employees Trip Hawkins, Bing Gordon, Stewart Bonn and Joe Ybarra. In ''VideoGame/UltimaVII'', Elizabeth and Abraham form the initials EA, and the cube, sphere and tetrahedron generators match the square, circle and triangle of the EA logo. The cube, sphere and tetrahedron appear in the morphing object in ''VideoGame/UltimaVIII''.
* Later games in the ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' series have some fun with the limitations ExecutiveMeddling forced on them:
** ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'' falls victim to the YouAllLookFamiliar trope ''heavily'' -- almost every generic NPC is a Toad, with the only rare distinguishing characteristics being different-colored spots on their mushroom caps. In a sub-franchise renowned for its creative and engaging characters, this... did not go over well with the fanbase. It seems the American English localizers aren't any happier about it, either, judging from a throw-away line in the follow-up, ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash'':
-->'''Rescue V Member:''' Mario, sir! I'm a huge fan! Thanks for taking the time to talk to a normal Toad like me with no unique traits or discernible characteristics!
** PlayedForDrama in ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheOrigamiKing'', where it's eventually revealed that [[spoiler:King Olly's plot started as a means to take revenge on a certain Toad -- but since all Toads look the same post-reboot, he has no way of knowing which one wronged him, so (he believes) he has no choice but to destroy ''all'' of them.]] It's very easy to read this as the folks at Intelligent Systems complaining about how they're not allowed to create unique character designs for the Toads anymore.
* You can find some programming Claptraps in ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel''. Dialogue includes:
-->Invalid - I've just decided that's a feature!\\
Won't fix, won't fix, won't fix - gosh, this is easy!\\
Hmm...what do I name THIS file? Ah, screw it...nobody's gonna see it anyway!\\
F*** - ship it!\\
More like Memelands 2. More like Memelands, the Pre-Memequel. More like Bordermemes. More like meme meme meme meme meme meme meme...meme.
* ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'', published by Creator/SquareEnix, has a running gag about Max being a colossal fan of ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' -- a notorious BoxOfficeBomb that nearly bankrupted Squaresoft, forced them to close their animation studio, and resulted in director and series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi's departure from the company.
* The fan-mod for ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', ''VideoGame/{{Falskaar}}'', was made by creator Alexander Velicky as a sort of job-application for Bethesda; in spite of that, however, it notably takes a few jabs at the vanilla game, most prominently mocking the infamous [[MemeticMutation "arrow in the knee"]] comment to the point that bandits declare [[EvenEvilHasStandards they won't shoot you in the knee]].
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' does this PlayedForDrama with its subplot about ubiquitous cartoon character Stamp, who has been adopted by Avalanche as an ironic symbol due to the character appearing in Shinra's war propaganda. Considering Creator/TetsuyaNomura had recently come off a DevelopmentHell situation caused by [[Creator/{{Disney}} a creator that develops ubiquitous cartoon characters and had a disturbing relationship with war propaganda]], and that Nomura stated his CreatorsFavorite was Barret, it's difficult not to incorporate some commentary on that into Barret's mixed feelings about using the symbol of the little cartoon dog.
* You can destroy EA's logo in one level of ''VideoGame/BoomBlox''.
* The game VideoGame/{{Bugsnax}} has one from a meta-perspective, the Launch Trailer presents a review from [[Website/TheOnion The Onion]] that states it "Looks like[...]honestly[...]one of the[...]best games for [=PS5=]." [[QuoteMine What's hidden behind the ellipses?]]
-->"'''Looks like''' [[SelfDeprecation shit]] '''honestly''' but for a window of several weeks it will be '''one of the''' nine '''best games for the [=PS5=].'''"
* After you complete the puzzle in ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Rugrats: Search for Reptar]]'', you get to play as Reptar and destroy an entire city. One of the buildings Reptar can smash has the Creator/{{THQ}} logo on it.
* The TrueFinalBoss of ''VideoGame/DynamiteHeaddy'' is a greedy executive who wants to make a sequel to Headdy's adventure where [[SequelEscalation even more chaos befalls Headdy's world]]. Headdy proceeds to beat the snot out of him and his lackeys.
