TBH, I'm not sure your interpretation of Blamed for Being Railroaded is correct. Many games with that trope are attempting, in Watsonian terms, to tell the story of a self-destructive failure of a protagonist. If you're arguing that kind of thing shouldn't count because it's the characters being guilt-tripped and not the player, I'm not sure how many examples that'd even leave left over.

Heck the description even goes.

"It is worth noting that in many of these cases, you aren't playing as yourself or a blank self-insert character. Often you are playing as a character with their own motivations and flaws."

I...honestly missed that.

Alright, then. The entry(ies) is fine, I suppose?
