for the longest time, i did know that game theory did not have anything to do with "games" and that it is somehow connected to the prisoners dilemma, but the concept as such wasn't very clear to me. If you are like my former me, take 30 minutes out of your day and visit https://ncase.me/trust/ to learn and play around with game theory; it's a great webpage and it's pretty good fun all around.
We have game theory as an a elective at my uni, the amount of people who signed up for game theory instead of game design is staggering
Those people would benefit from game theory then. Game theory is all about using the information available to make the best possible choice.
Why would I play game theory when I can play actual games?? It’s like reading about sex positions when your horny naked fwb is right next to you, I tells ya!
Some people definitely need to read more fucktheory.
If you want to learn about games you want combinatorial game theory. Traditional game theory isn't completely divorced from real games either, but comes up more often in economics.
