Not necessarily. Sure, some players may notice that a character is missing at first, but they might just chuck it up to being something that they remembered incorrectly.
However, there’s one thing that the movies may not have touched up on: Code can be copied.
If there;s someone among the video game characters who would know how to copy code, then they could use that to create some kind of clone of Vanellope to take her place. And no one would even know the difference.
To those who have actually seen the new Wreck-It Ralph movie, is it any good? And does Vanellope really abandon Sugar Rush to live in Grand Theft Auto?

Unless her show is rated PG-13, and allowing someone to be permitted to brutally slice that horn off her head, because she can’t defend herself without it, she relies on her horn and magic too much, let alone her non-magical friends.
She can use magic, has a non-pony companion (although I’m not sure if that counts as talking to animals since Spike can talk), was cursed by Discord and Tirek, and imprisoned by Chrysalis.
Unfortunately, most folks don’t assume her problems were solved by a big strong stallion, since she and her friends solved them either by herself or with the help of her friends.

Yeah, but Twilight doesn’t need a magic carpet, and Jasmine’s the only one who has a companion who can help her to fly. The others don’t have that.
