Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a game of plain complements, the cross-effects in the payoff functions are positive. This means that if one player's strategy choice enhances their own payoff, it also enhances the other player's payoff. There is no incentive to act in a way that harms the other player, as it would also harm oneself. Therefore, mutual cooperation is the optimal strategy.
