Game theory says to always reciprocate in kind and always enable kindness.
They punch you, punch back, then be friends
That being said, I question how that applies in this context. Corporate leadership doesn’t exactly strike me as trustworthy nor worthy of mercy, although that could be a lean toward cynicism on my part.
If we don't change reviews back then they have no reason to keep their word. Lose lose
We do change reviews back they have good reviews and need to keep their word to ensure this doesn't happen again. Win win
We change reviews back they lie, we just change ours back to negative again and go about our days. Lose lose
You've got that backwards.
They've been convicted in the court of public opinion. This reversal doesn't make them innocent of their crimes, but it does justify reducing the sentence to parole.
The black mark stays on their record, but they have the opportunity to start rebuilding trust. If they want good reviews on future titles they need to avoid squandering the chance to prove they deserve them.
We’re dealing with a faceless corporation here, not a reasonable person.
That isn't a universal conclusion...it applies to multi trial prisoners dilemma. This isn't that.
It applies everywhere, the whole movie a beautiful mind is based around game theory.
The scene where they cooperate means someone goes home with the girl but if they fight no one does etc.
Seriously look it up, it applies everywhere.
Here I did the hard work now you just watch and pay attention.

Omg, yes, game theory applies everywhere. No, the correct strategy isn't universally "reciprocate in kind and always enable kindness". There is no universal game with a universally correct solution.
That's why it's still just a theory.
Edit: /s was just a joke because it's got theory in the name.
"A theory is a carefully thought-out explanation for observations of the natural world that has been constructed using the scientific method, and which brings together many facts and hypotheses"
Another explanation is here,

Theory doesn't mean what you think it means in the context of "Game Theory"
It was a joke.
So is gravity. Outside colloquial usage, a Theory is well-substantiated with empirical evidence. Game Theory is one of those.
Was just poking fun.
Found the shill
Can you please contribute more to your Lemmy conversations than going around calling people shills and other things? Thank you.
Found another shill!
Yes, I AM a shill. A shill for meaningful, productive conversation on Lemmy. We don't all have to agree for that to happen. I'll point out that @Woozythebear@lemmy.world's comment quality is far better when they put some thought into it. I would suggest the same to you.
Genuinely don't know why Aussiemandeus would capitulate to a horrible company when they haven't even delivered on their promise yet.
But please keep defending the corpos ;)
You can't deliver on a promise that something won't happen. You can keep it, but you can't deliver on it. It could always happen later. At what point do you think it's done?
It's not capitulation it's co-operation.
We change reviews back they don't enforce PSN.
They go back on what they said we change reviews back to negative afterwards.
It's the simplest solution
Cooperation is laughably naive when they haven't done what you have asked for yet.
I get called a bot and tons of other things all over Lemmy. So no, I'll say what I want to say.
Silence, Bot!
