Flickr: initially an image management/sharing tool for a 2d online game. Cut the game, kept the image sharing.
Slack: initially an internal communication tool for another incarnation of the same game. Cut the game, kept the chat.
(An incarnation of this game did briefly exist between these two, but only lasted about a year.)
