Line 103:
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 4'' Subverted slightly as the last act offers a 50% off all of the weapons etc. in Drebin's shop. However, this isn't directly related to aiding you on your missions; it's only because business is going bad {{spoiler|(The disabling of ID'd guns creating a slump on the 'necessary' war economy)}} and they need to make sales.
* ''[[Metro 2033]]'' The only money is bartering with 5.57 ammo left over from before the apocalypse. The ammo is in perfect condition, and packs more punch than the homemade crap you usually find. Therefore, you must choose between supporting the economy and saving your ass in a firefight. There's even an Achievement (Scrooge) for hoarding 500 Bullets.
* [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]s can take this trope go [[Up to Eleven]]. Not only do you not get discounts for saving the town/country/world—not even if the shopkeeper himself gives you quests for [[Twenty Bear Asses]]—but your fellow players will often charge ridiculously exorbitant prices for rare items and equipment.
** [[Averted]] in ''[[Dungeons and Dragons Online]]'': Certain overworld areas have major quest chains, usually given by an important person from that area, or otherwise about something much more important than some random person's problems. When you finish the major quest chain for an area, all shops in that area will give you a small discount.
* ''[[Monster Girl Quest Paradox]]'': Your party can include the leaders of the human nations, and the queens of many races of monsters. Your mission is to {{spoiler|prevent the destruction of the entire multiverse}}. None of this stops you from having to pay full price for goods. Even the shops run by your own party members, who should know how important the mission is, still charge you. There are a couple of exceptions when it comes to inns, though. The Sutherland Inn owner gives you a free night there after you rescue the harpies, and the inn run by your party member charges just 1 gold compared to the 10 charged by most inns.
