* ''[[Command & Conquer]] Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge'' has Yuri's faction practise slave labour, even though Yuri has genetic manipulation, mind control technology and a laser-armed UFO unit. However, consider that Yuri is a madman, and the "Slave Miner" vehicle's driver [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] the act by saying "Slaves are cheap!". It also gives the other two nations even more reasons to fight Yuri, and freeing the slaves is actually possible. |

* In ''Elite'' you could trade in slaves, though it would mean your legal status would take a hit. You could even ''accidentally'' pick up slaves if you scooped up an escape pod from an enemy ship (and there was no way to free them, or hand them over to the cops). [[Open Source Remake]] ''[[Oolite]]'' fixed this by offering a small reward paid out from the survivor's insurance policy instead, and occasionally a bounty from the local police if they turn out to be a wanted felon, but [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|you can still do it anyway if you feel like being a dick.]] |

* ''Risk of Rain'' is set in a future with space travel and robots (two of the playable characters are robot janitor HAN-D and robotic cooking assistant CHEF), yet if Loader and Miner are any indication, businesses still employ people for manual labor like loading cargo and mining. Loader has a powerful exoskeleton which makes the physical part of his job trivial, buth Miner only has pickaxes and a worn protective suit. |
