The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

This is more devious, players normally expect that any actions they take will be undone if they reload.

Minor example: In many of the Megaman Battle Network games, if you beat the game, it will add a "beat the game star" to your file, one of the requirements to access the bonus area. Any other things you do after this like using consumables are not saved.

No one? Don't make me make a new Trope page for this.

True, but there still has to be a meaning and/or utility behind a situation, or its just Chairs, not a trope.

I do think there is something here though; I'd call this Anti-Frustration Features when its used to keep you from chucking your controller through the screen, and Playing The Player when its used to screw with you psychologically- say, a boss taunting you for being on your fifth try at beating them. Might could hammer out a YKTTW out of it as a shared subtrope of those two.
