* ''[[Professor Layton and the Curious Village]]'' has the plot twist that 90% of the village's population is robots. The 10% of the population that's human includes is Bruno, Flora (who leaves), Pavel ([[No Sense of Direction|who's only there accidentally]]), and Stachenscarfen (who also leaves). Whenever the robots run out of power, the elderly Bruno fixes them up in the dead of night. If Flora lays a hand on her fortune, the robots will be deactivated for good; she decides to leave her fortune, as well as the village, happy ending for all - but what happens when Bruno dies?
** Curious Village has nothing on sequel ''[[Professor Layton and the Unwound Future]]'', where a {{spoiler|giant mecha bursts through the roof of the cavern in which "future London" exists, right into London, one of the largest, densely populated cities on Earth, which must instantly kill thousands of people. It then proceeds to shoot cannons across the city, presumably killing hundreds if not thousands more. Ouch.}}
* Invoked but ultimately averted in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', the main characters are actually concerned about this happening because the Patriots are so deeply entrenched in the workings of the world that destroying them will cripple vital services like water and power worldwide. A clearly-resigned Campbell warns Snake early-on that the absolute best outcome they can hope for is to stop Liquid from taking over the system, and then the plan is to ''let the Patriots continue to exist unmolested'' so as not to plunge the world into a new dark age. Unfortunately, they fail this terribly and Liquid takes over the system, gaining control of every military resource, nearly every gun and piece of equipment, in the world, so they decide to nuke the Patriots anyway because the dark age is simply preferable to Emperor Liquid. Fortunately, Sunny is a much better coder than Naomi and finishes the virus so that it only lobotomizes the AIs, leaving basic services untouched.
** Actually, the plan was to shut down GW itself. They didn't know about the program also eliminating the other [[A Is]] until ''after'' uploading it, and it was implied that uploading the virus was actually Ocelot's true plan. Also, it's not truly averted, as Drebin implies in the ending that even with the basic resources being kept intact with the Patriots gone, there is not only still going to be war, but in fact its most likely going to increase as a result due to "not everyone being too happy with rainbows and lollipops." That's not even getting into Drebin's drunken implication that the United Nations will most likely end up becoming the spiritual successor of the Patriots in terms of strict control, or that the entire world is completely broke to the extent that not even creating PMC regulatory laws will get them out of the debt.
*** If the E3 trailer for ''[[Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance]]'' is anything to go by, the outcome is actually even ''worse'' than initially thought.
Line 375:
** This also happens to {{spoiler|Crono's mom and cats}} after [[Chrono Trigger]].
* Well, [[God of War (series)|Kratos]], you've successfully killed most of the gods. Hooray! Now we have to deal with the fact that the underworld has no guardian, meaning that all the demons will probably find a way to break out and roam the earth, which might not even exist anymore because there's no ocean god alive to make sure that the sea doesn't engulf the entire land masses which are dead anyway since there's no one to pull the sun around and keep life alive.[[Disproportionate Retribution|All because Ares tricked you into killing your family]].
* If you haven't played the other ''[[Dept. Heaven]]'' games, the A ending of [[Yggdra Union]] seems unambiguously happy. If you ''have'' played the other games, however, you realize that {{spoiler|the entity that Nessiah did all his horrible deeds in order to kill was none other than ''Hector'', the [[Complete Monster]] [[Big Bad]] of ''Riviera'' (and arguably the entire series). So basically, while Yggdra did save her world by defeating Nessiah, she also unwittingly made it so that ''no one'' will interfere with Hector's plans until Ein comes along in ''Riviera''.}}
* During ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles]]'', Leon and Krauser encounter piranha infected with the T-Virus...in the river. Given that this river is a tributary of the Amazon, that dam they visit had ''better'' be upstream from the piranha, because otherwise there's nothing stopping those fish from reaching the main river and biting everything they run into, creating an outbreak so big it'll wipe out the entire Amazon rain forest.
** Oh, it goes back further than that. The original T-Virus outbreak is in the middle of a massive forest in midwestern North America, and about halfway through ''Dead Aim'', you sink an ocean liner full of zombies in the middle of the Pacific. The T-Virus is loose in the RE universe's biosphere and has been for quite a while, which means they're really just marking time until some kind of apocalypse scenario.
