Line 226:
* Strong Bad does this quite often towards [[Telltale Games]] in ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People]]'' and its making-of mockumentary ''Behind The Bad'' (and eventually carried over in ''[[Poker Night At the Inventory]]''), usually complaining about how they never follow his idea of the "perfect" Strong Bad video game. This, however, is subverted near the end of "8-Bit Is Enough" when the developers [[Throw the Dog a Bone|finally made an albeit lo-res polygon render of a concept sketch from Strong Bad for the episode's final battle]], [["Hell Yes!" Moment|and Strong Bad couldn't be more happy about it.]]
* Online game makers Nitrome did this and a bit of [[Self-Deprecation]] with their 100th game, ''Nitrome Must Die''. Example: in one level, the whiteboard in the background shows ideas for a new game... with a deadline of 8 hours.
* More a case of taking a shot at ''former'' employers; Koji Igarashi's messy divorce from Konami is well known, and when he started his own company, ArtPlay (after raising $5.5 million on Kickstarter) he released ''[[Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night]]'', a sort of [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Castlevania]]''. Just to troll his former employers, the game includes a scene were the hero fights two demonic slot machines, a jab at the business Konami has been in since abandoning ''Castlevania''.
