Not actually the Prisoners' Dilemma - the payout matrix is wrong, but close enough, and gut wrenching. From the interviews after it seems that there's some baggage from the earlier parts of the game.
Interesting to see it (or something close enough) in action.
Not the classic payoff matrix, right. But isn’t the end result the same? The best answer to split is steal (100% > 50%). The best answer to steal? Well, they look the same (you get 0% no matter what you pick), but you don’t know what your partner picks. And steal is the dominant strategy. So in the end you should pick steal. And that’s a classic prisoner’s dilemma. Any faults with my logic?
(This all obviously assumes that your utility is equivalent to the amount of money. It might not be. You might value not coming across as an asshole pretty high.)
