Line 145:
* Conquer the world in [[Civilization]], decide to continue the game... and realize that with all the enemies defeated, there is actually very little to do anymore.
* This is [[Badass Grandpa|Yoshihiro]] [[Blood Knight|Shimazu]]'s entire reason for joining the 'losing' side in every ''Warriors'' game he's in. He finds being on the side of the stronger guy and having victory be all but assured boring, and would rather go against long odds. Especially prominent in [[Warriors Orochi]] 3 where he defects from Orochi's army by basically invoking the trope on the spot.
* Kano's ending in ''[[Mortal Kombat 11]]'' shows him gaining control of the Hourglass, giving the notorious outlaw a near limitless ability to rewrite reality as he sees fit. At first he has a pie-in-the-sky attitude, and changes history to gain ''everything'' his degenerate and perverted heart desires, the cutscene showing both Sonya and Cassie [[Go-Go Enslavement| fighting in bikinis]] just to please him. But eventually, he finds that ''always'' winning so easily just isn't fun as he assumed it would be. So he rewrites reality again, making things pretty much as they were before; he notes that while he doesn't win ''all'' the time anymore, when he does - having earned it - it's far more satisfying.
