Status Dependent upon Player Choice

Char Aznable has declared Status Dependent upon Player Choice is to be renamed to Category:Status Dependent upon Players' Choice for the following reason(s): Plural, any player can decide the status of the villain, not just a special player. Please discuss it on the talk page for this article. "I told you I am not Casval, I am Char Aznable."✓

Many games are very non-linear and feature extensive stories and morals to them, affecting choices for players to make over the course of the games.

The villains here have multiple possible fates that are affected by player actions. For instance they might be Deceased, Redeemed, Unseen, etc.

These villains cannot be classified as Karma Houdinis if there are multiple endings and/or alternate scenarios unless Villains do not receive punishment in any of them (e.g. Richard Perkins). In addition, villains in video games that do not include the players' actions cannot count for obvious reasons.

Additionally, they can be Pure Evil as they still refuse to redeem themselves and even if these were the case, they're purely out of pragmatic reasons and their vile actions are still considered canon, even if the players take on a peaceful, non-violent approach.
