What the fuck is game theory? google/AI could not explain it to me!!
>>17036326Given a certain set of rules, what strategies result in the best possible lead against an opponent playing the same game?That basic concept is essentially game theory. It's the study of how different strategies interact with one another, sometimes involving asymmetric playing fields. Then get really broad about what qualifies as a "game."
>>17036327So an opponent doing the same things as you is required for it to be a game? So single player games aren't actually games because the enemies don't play by the same rules as you?
>>17036327Cool
>>17036328The players can have asymmetric rulesets. By "playing the same game" I mean the strategy of one player impacts the outcome of another player.

Is there a zero sum constraint or is that just a generalization?
>>17036334That would be a specialization, not a generalization.

>>17036334Cooperative games exist in game theory. The competitor was just an easy frame to start from. As long as you have multiple rational actors seeking their own best possible outcome, and their strategies to acquire said outcome influence the optimal strategies of each other, you have a game in game theory.
