While this is also true to a lesser degree in the Literature and Film sections, the Video Game section is rife with examples that boil down to "If you choose to play a later game in the series first..." which do not qualify as instances of this trope. Things that are spoiled in trailers, box art, add-on content, and amalgam games (Smash Bros, rhythm games, and the like) are all valid, surely, as they can be encountered by pure accident. But tropers should reconsider making any addition that is entirely based on the consumer making the conscious decision to play a later game before its predecessor. (Unless No Export For You is invoked, then it's fair game.)
