The Matrix Online extended the film universe into a shared persistent game. Players could inhabit the setting rather than only watch its story, meeting others inside a recognizable fictional world.
Its shutdown ended the official space where that participation happened, leaving a different kind of memory from a film that can simply be replayed.
