* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', [[spoiler: it's revealed Vergil's detachment to humanity and StartOfDarkness was triggered by the perception that his human mother Eva viewed him as this and choose to give her life to save Dante, while he was abandoned. Dante corrects this in the FinalBattle, telling Vergil's SuperPoweredEvilSide Urizen that Eva's last moments were her searching for him before she was killed. How much of this revelation has sunk in when Vergil is reforms is unclear, though he appears to be less bitter with Dante at the very least.]]

** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2'' had Fatman, who was neglected by his parents, and apparently, even though he built a nuclear bomb at age 10 and was rather famous (or infamous) within the bomb trade for this feat, he was hated within his own school. Even the rest of [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Dead Cell]] don't seem to like him all that much. Ironically, he came to hate his former mentor and teacher Peter Stillman, the one person who actually ''did'' like him, more than anyone else and became sadistically obsessed with "beating" him.

* ''VideoGame/TheSims2'' has Lilith Pleasant, the younger daughter of Mary-Sue and Daniel Pleasant. When you first play the household, [[BlackSheep she has a bad relationship with everyone]], including her [[SiblingRivalry older twin sister]], whom she hates (and vice versa). She also starts out with poor school grades and a red aspiration meter, showing how dissatisfied she is with her life, and has memories of growing up badly from each life-stage to the next. While it's not exactly clear ''why'' Mary-Sue and Daniel [[ParentalFavoritism favour Angela over her]], the common fandom theory is that they were expecting only one child and weren't prepared to take care of a second.

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXVI'', hero Clive Rosfield is the first son of Archduke Elwin Rosfield, and unlike his younger brother Joshua, is not the inheritor of the Eikon Phoenix. Elwin makes it clear he loves both of his sons equally and Clive isn't bothered by Joshua's status as Dominant or heir to the throne, but their mother Annabella can barely hide her disdain for Clive, believing him a failure for not inheriting Phoenix, leading her to betray the Duchy, a series of events that ends with Elwin and Joshua [[spoiler: thought]] dead and Roseria destroyed. This trait of hers continues in the present day, with her shunning her step-son Dion Lesage of Sanbreque for the child she had with his father, Olivier. This [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard blows up in her face]] when [[spoiler: Dion, enraged by Olivier's ascension to Emperor and accidently killing his father, destroys Twinside in fury which in turn leads to Twinside's Mothercrystal destroyed by the sons she abandoned and her precious Olivier killed at Dion's hands. [[DrivenToSuicide She takes her own life shortly after]]]].

* In ''VideoGame/GoodbyeVolcanoHigh'', Fang is implied to be this, due to both being nonbinary and choosing to pursue their musician dream instead of a more "respectable" career. Their parents show clear favoritism towards younger brother Naser, and don't respect Fang's music ambitions, gender, or chosen name. In Chapter 1, while their parents are out of town, Naser tells Fang he gets five texts a day from mom. Meanwhile, Fang gets none, but won't admit to Naser that it hurts them.
