* The end of the Agrabah world in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'' has Aladdin releasing Genie with his third and final wish, just like in the movie. Genie is actively shocked by this, as Jasmine had been kidnapped and taken off world by the GreaterScopeVillain and he was pushing Aladdin to use his final wish to rescue her. Aladdin explains that he [[IGaveMyWord gave his word]] upon initially meeting Genie and chose to uphold it. This is the main reason Genie [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe chooses to go with Sora and co.]] after being freed, even though he's not bound by any request Aladdin makes now.

While Oreg can't grant wishes as such, he is a powerful mage and must do whatever he is ordered to do. As Ward is against slavery, and, in theory, doesn't even tolerate it on his own land (a slave, who sets foot on Hurog land, is free from then on), he would very much like to free Oreg. He briefly considers taking Oreg to the palace and ask one of the powerful mages there, but then he realizes that the magic was stronger in the past, and it probably won't help, and he doesn't want to expose family secrets, either.

* In ''Literature/FeetOfClay'', golems take the place of genies. They have few supernatural abilities beyond being immortal, incredibly strong and tough, and tireless, but must have a master who they will serve completely. It's so inherent to them that when they secretly create a new golem intended to lead them to freedom, they sell it for a pittance. They can't simply be told they're free, but Carrot works out how to do it by purchasing Dorfl then putting the receipt of ownership among the animating words in his head.

Because HumansAreBastards, the genies are devoted to the second route, as convoluted as it is.
