Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A negative-sum game is a situation in which the total losses of the players outweigh the total winnings. This means that at the end of the game, there is no winner and all players lose together. A zero-sum game is a situation where one player's gain is another player's loss, but the total sum of the gains and losses is zero. A positive-sum game is a situation where all players can win and the total sum of the gains is positive. A tit-for-tat game is a strategy in game theory where players cooperate initially and then adopt the same strategy as the other player in subsequent rounds.
