* ''VideoGame/DoubleSwitch'': Elizabeth is very much a KarmaHoudini. Why? Because she took a hefty bribe from mobsters to let them find Brutus, and she had to have known that they were going to murder him, one of her own tenants. She did not try to protect the tenants from a secret society, mobsters, and [[spoiler:Eddie]]. In fact, she actually prevented two tenants from leaving the building when they were trying to escape [[spoiler:Eddie]]. No one chews her out for her actions, not even at the end of the game.

[[spoiler Eddie]] also [[TheEndOrIsIt apparently isn't done]] [[Cliffhanger just yet, either]].

** In the FanGame ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2'', [[spoiler: MinionWithAnFInEvil Iroha Nijiue was one of the masterminds behind the DeadlyGame, but unlike her associates who were also ForcedIntoVillainy she's far less redeemable due to being a DirtyCoward with a HazyFeelTurn that against all odds managed to become one of the final survivors. In the epilogue she manages to go on the lam with NobleDemon Syobai, escaping any justice for her actions]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/{{Hiveswap}}'': In Act 2, no matter which ending in the trial you get, the true culprit [[spoiler:Lanque]] gets off scot free. Either [[spoiler:Lynera takes the fall and gets taken to the Purpleblood car or Wanshi admits that she altered Lynera's diary to implicate her in the crime on purpose, from which the whole thing is declared a mistrial and no one is found guilty because Marvus got bored. Even in the one possible route where Joey accuses Lanque of the crime after figuring out it must've been him, this causes a Game Over with Lanque leading her into the space between train cars and tossing her out of the moving train, implying that no one ever finds out the truth after she's gone.]]

* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'':
** In the DS VideoGameRemake of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'', the main villain Psaro slaughters your village just like in the original; and a number of other hideous crimes as well, and that's even before his MoralityChain is killed. Yet you can resurrect said MoralityChain and...return in time? after the end of the game to save his soul from becoming a OneWingedAngel. And then he joins your party to kill the demon who tricked him into declaring genocide on the human race.

** One of the most egregious cases occurs in ''VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus'', where [[spoiler:[[TheDogWasTheMastermind Volo]] reveals himself to be the true culprit behind all the hyperspatial distortions and the rampaging Nobles in Hisui, and is seeking to ''use Giratina to destroy reality so he could recreate it InTheirOwnImage''. Just like Ardos, he clearly has no remorse over it even if you manage to defeat him.]] It says a ''lot'' for a franchise [[spoiler:who usually punishes this type of villain with great prejudice and he somehow ''gets away with everything''. Although it's somewhat of a ForegoneConclusion considering that he's all but stated to be [[IndenticalGrandson Cynthia's ancestor]] and hasn't been shown to have any children yet.]]
