Here's one I had years ago--probably when I first heard of Everquest:
It was an MMORPG.
It would retail in three different versions and have an ongoing storyline for one year. Anyway, there were three different MMO planets with their own plots. One was a space RPG where technology was their "magic. One was a Pokémon styled affair where it revolved around catching creatures to do your bidding. The last was more World of Warcraft, I guess.
Keep in mind that I've never played an MMORPG or a Pokémon game.
Anyway, gamers would essentially "choose their side" by choosing which game they'd buy. They'd have a full experience, too. Lots of twists and turns. After about six months, an event would occur where all three worlds came into conflict with each other. Each player would be pretty invested in their world and character so they'd try pretty hard to do their part to keep their RPG world alive.
That's the gist of it, anyway. So robots and mechs vs. giant battle monsters vs. Avatar (the cartoon).
That's my game.
