Sometimes people talk about Legend of Five Rings and how tournament outcomes would influence the story and card releases moving forward. I wanna say Ascension did something like that too, and it seems like something that'd happen in MMOs. Any of y'all got any other examples, or wanna infodump about it? I'm curious. Heck I'll take other media too, I remember the comic Luann did a big event where readers decided which love interest she should pursue and I thought it was super cool.

I remember hearing that The Matrix Online had that happen.

There was that game that was also a TV show on Syfy, and if certain big quests succeeded or failed the results would be referenced on the show.

Defiance? I enjoyed the show but never tried the game.

I believe the final Splatfest result from Splatoon 2 influenced the story for Splatoon 3.

I only ever saw Defiance because my roommate was playing the game.

It didn't last long, afaik. Either that or my roommate stopped caring.

Two seasons iirc. And I think the game didn't even go that long.

Not sure it's what you're looking for but this made me think of Risk Legacy, which is like Risk but every game changes the canon the world and each game after is different because of it

Not an actual game, but the plot of the film The Gamers: Hand of Fate involves a fictional CCG where the outcome of a tournament has the potential to change not just the lore, but the mechanics of the game. The 'villains' are vying to (IIRC) have one of the in-game factions wiped out in a way that will also cause their signature mechanic to be removed from the rules.

This is also the case for the first game, the final Splatfest from 1 influenced the story in 2.
