* Towards the end of ''Webcomic/JoeVsElanSchool'', while globetrotting after his divorce, Joe mentions that he keeps up with many of the people in his "core group" who had been involved with closing the abusive Elan School. However, he makes the decision not to join them in further pursuing former Elan leadership or fighting against other troubled teen facilities. {{Justified|Trope}}; closing Elan had come at a great personal cost to Joe, and he says he wants to focus on his own healing and peace moving forward.

* Music/{{Eminem}} swore off beefing in the ''Music/{{Encore}}'' song "Like Toy Soldiers", in which he apologises for his HairTriggerTemper leading him into being irresponsible and mourns the pointless deaths that feuds have caused in the HipHop community. While he's since stayed out of potentially fatal beefs with gangsters, the resulting mockery of his career led to an eventual realisation that this was ALessonLearnedTooWell, and Eminem returned to stirring up beef again in his 2018 album ''Kamikaze''.

* At the end of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'', Ezio decides that he has seen enough action as an Assassin and leaves his weapons behind to start a peaceful life with Sofia. He is forced into action one last time in ''Embers'' when a young Assassin seeks his advice on rebuilding the Order in her country [[spoiler:and he dies not long after]].
* In ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII'', specifically the [[MultipleEndings endings]] in which [[spoiler:Alex Mason stays dead]], David Mason vows over his father's grave that he'll never fight again, too wearied by the war with Menendez to go on living the life of a soldier.



* The [[spoiler: Vell-os]] from ''[[VideoGame/EscapeVelocity Escape Velocity: Nova]]'' surrendered to the Colonial Council and became [[spoiler: slaves, because the alternative was to fight the Colonial Council and ''win'', causing immeasurable death and destruction.]]



* ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'': In the BadFuture the Pale Tree shows the player and Traherne, four of the Destiny's Edge companions are still bitterly fighting among themselves. As a result, Caithe declares she's sick of trying to stop the others from bickering, and accepts Faolain's offer to join TheDarkSide instead. (Thanks to your player character, this doesn't come to pass.)
* A variation in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'': Hanzo is noted to be a MasterSwordsman, even more skilful in its use than his brother Genji. But because the last time he wielded his sword was seemingly [[CainAndAbel killing Genji with it]] (the clan elders forced him into it to prevent the family's dissolution after the death of their father), he refused to have it repaired or wield it again, [[ArcherArchetype keeping to a bow and arrows instead]]. The damaged sword can be seen in Hanamura Dojo.[[note]]To add an additional layer of tragedy, Hanzo's guilt is largely unnecessary as [[NiceGuy Genji forgives Hanzo for trying to kill him and hopes he'll come around to the right path]].[[/note]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'', the colonists of a Tomb World might start to adopt the Pacifist ethos after taking in the horrific devastation that the previous population's war brought to their home. [[TheAtoner This is especially poignant if they come from a Militarist empire]].
