Factorio. Your goal is to harness the power of Science! to provide for your vacation expenses; and when you start a new game, you inevitably strand yourself on a new planet with evil communist bugs, just to start all over again.
How can getting jerked off be ripped away from you?
Seen the word “Bleakquel” used for it, but since it’s handier to point people at, we have TVTropes with Happy Ending Override. It’s so damn common because a happy ending means they cannot continue the story, so it must be ruined.
Final fantasy 13, kinda. I hated the start of 13-2

Mass Effect?
Spoilers for the beginning of Mass Effect 2 (because the trilogy is meant to be played back-to-back-to-back, and that’s how it’s sold now, as a Legendary Edition that bundles them up as one product).

Regardless of how the first one ends, the very beginning of the first one has your ship destroyed, your crew scattered, and you get killed — sucked out into the vacuum of space. This isn’t really a spoiler since it’s how a popular game starts and that game came out like 15 years ago, but for anyone who hasn’t played the trilogy, it kind of is. Anyway, you get picked up by a group with deep pockets, and they bring you back to life. But if you got attached to your character in the first one, it kinda sucks seeing them literally get killed in the second one.
Poor Jak.

The Longest Journey. They did my girl April dirty.
