History YouHaveFailedMe / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/AquamanBattleForAtlantis'', after his men bungle a mission to blow up an armory, Black Manta kills them.

* ''Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries'':
** ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' has this with the Joker. One of [[IntercomVillainy his radio chatter lines]] uses the trope name word-for-word to the last two mooks that Batman is yet to take down. And once Harley Quinn is defeated by Batman, he doesn't kill her, but just tells her she's "off the party list".
** Towards the end of ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', [[spoiler:[[BigBad Professor Hugo Strange]] gets stabbed in the back (literally and figuratively) by his [[TheManBehindTheMan boss]] Ra's al Ghul for being defeated by Batman. It doubles as YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness and HeKnowsTooMuch, as the whole purpose of Strange's plan was to prove himself worthy of being Ra's's successor; his failure in doing so demonstrates not only that Ra's has no real use for him, but also that Strange is a liability. Unfortunately for Ra's, his pawn does not appreciate being cast aside and [[TakingYouWithMe uses his dying breath to activate their shared base's self-destruct]]]].

** In ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert'', [[UsefulNotes/JosefStalin Stalin]] personally chokes a general who has failed to disable the Allied self-destruct device resulting in the loss of the Chronosphere, which you have just barely managed to capture. Stalin ''nearly'' has [[NonEntityGeneral you]] killed over the same thing, before another officer interjects by explaining that the fault wasn't yours, it was [[spoiler:Kukov's]] -- you followed your instructions ''perfectly'', but you weren't told about one of the communication centres in the area (the self-destruct could be deactivated by neutralizing the comm centres in the region -- but it had to be ''all'' the comm centres, otherwise it wouldn't work). Stalin quickly rescinds your execution order and does the above mentioned choking. Then he tells you he's giving you one chance to redeem your failure, otherwise this trope is coming into effect.

*** In the GDI campaign, Nod general Vega has just lost to the player character GDI commander [=McNeil=] and is beseeching Kane for reinforcements. Kane's response is to nuke the Vega's island base.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'', Nishiki kills two of his underlings (one with a simple headshot, but the other with [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill an entire magazine of bullets]] ''while he begs for his life'') for [[spoiler:killing the Mizuki double]].

* ''Videogame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' has this with the Joker. One of [[IntercomVillainy his radio chatter lines]] uses the trope name word-for-word to the last two mooks that Batman is yet to take down.

* In ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'', the head of security for Jeremiah Fink is blamed for a rise in criminal activity from a dissident group. The player soon finds that he has been [[DeadlyEuphemism "sacked"]].

** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'', Zephia punishes Nelucce for allowing the Firenese royals to escape with Celica's Emblem ring. He tells her everything he thinks she wants to hear and begs her not to kill him, but Zephia coldly says that she doesn't give out second chances and zaps him dead in the streets.
