History TearJerker / FiveNightsAtFreddys

As terrifying the game is, it managed to have its fair share of sad moments.

* A Meta example: Rebornica leaving the fandom, refusing to do anything with Vincent or anything FNAF related and deleting all their comics was... ''celebrated'' by most of the fandom, including the official subreddit... which is, oddly enough, filled with some of the most mature fans of the game. For all the threats that the artist had to endure constantly, it's pretty sickening to think that the reaction to the artist leaving was cheers and taunts, as well as downvoting every person that called the subreddit out [[http://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/2ub3nc/rebornica_is_ending_and_ceasing_work_on_their/ Just]] [[http://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/36xeqw/what_is_this_subs_opinion_on_rebornica/ read]] [[http://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/2w8v2e/rebornicas_last_comic/ these.]]

--> '''Foxy''': You never listened, never bothered, never looked my way. It's only fair for me to visit you ''and make you pay.''
* The fact that in recent [[http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/dont-miss/138304258-story real life news]] a man had walked onto a school playground, stabbed a 7 year old girl, and basically got away as the security guard was not there the day it had happened. The worst part? This was during the day time. AdultFear everywhere!

* Yes, ''you'' know the truth. But a lot of kids in-universe adore the Fazbear gang and don't know about the restaurant's DarkAndTroubledPast. They're going to be heartbroken when [[spoiler: the place shuts down for good within two months]]. The fact that the place gets a re-opening in the sequel does nothing to help, despite what it may seem, due to {{the reveal}} [[spoiler:that it takes place before the first game.]]

** Even if the (quite popular) theory of him [[spoiler:being alive due to something in the third game]] holds any truth, there's still just his entire experience through the whole series. You can tell he's an avid fan of the franchise and absolutely adores the animatronics. But though the course of the story, he [[spoiler:has to watch this beloved restaurant deal with the murder of children on its premises. And also discover that someone -- probably a co-worker, possibly a ''friend'' -- used a suit meant to bring joy to small children, to lure them to their deaths instead. He sounds devastated in the phone call afterward. Then, possibly for years, he has to take up the lonely nightshift as Freddy's struggles more and more to stay open, all while using his own wits to stay alive against a team of haunted animatronics -- the very ones he loved -- that are now trying to kill him. It's utterly heartbreaking to see a good-natured man so enthusiastic about the restaurant have to deal with everything from murders to the supernatural -- and even be killed for it. The player isn't given an option to go check on and possibly save him; or it just wasn't shown. Unlike the missing children, someone knew where he was.]]

* A Meta example: Rebornica leaving the fandom, refusing to do anything with Vincent or anything FNAF related and deleting all their comics was... ''celebrated'' by most of the fandom, including the official subreddit... which is, oddly enough, filled with some of the most mature fans of the game. For all the threats that the artist had to endure constantly, it's pretty sickening to think that the reaction to the artist leaving was cheers and taunts, as well as downvoting every person that called the subreddit out.
