* Phenotrans, the [[Mega Corp]] main antagonists of the ''[[Dead Rising]]'' series. This is the group that markets a drug called Zombrex, a daily dose of which is required for anyone infected by a zombie, in order to stay human. And they charge an astronomical price for it. The apocalyptic ramifications of this deliberate price gouging - not to mention profiteering, as they deliberately try to worsen the [[Zombie Apocalypse]] - never occurs to them, nor do they ever realize that the overwhelming profits they're making are going to collapse once customers start to lose the funds to afford it. Not to mention they risk turning the entire world into a state where said profits will be worthless.

* From the ''[[Danganronpa]]'' series, the original Student Council is another example of [[Predecessor Villain]]s who fit that Trope as a result of their stupidity. Short version: Hope's Peak Academy had a reputation of being one of the best (and one of the most expensive) schools in the world, with students who graduated being renowned as experts in their fields. The Academy was originally rather picky about who was admitted. As a result of that, however, profits from tuition started to decline, so they decided to start a remedial program (the Reserve Course) that was just as expensive but lower quality. This eventually led to a caste system developing inside the school, which led to discrimination against the Reserve Course (both by students and faculty), which led to violence, which led to actual murders and suicides, which eventually led to the the first of the Killing Games, the victims of which were the Student Council themselves. in effect, they had created social classes in order to boost their profit margins, an ill-conceived idea that ultimately did them in.

The Academy was originally rather picky about who was admitted until profits from tuition started to decline, so the Council decided to start a remedial program, the Reserve Course, that was just as expensive but lower quality. This eventually led to a caste-like social class system developing inside the school, which led to discrimination against the Reserve Course by both students and faculty - that discrimination soon gave way to violence, followed by actual murders and suicides, and eventually the first of the Killing Games, with its first victims of which were [[Hoist By Their Own Petard|the Student Council themselves]].
