| Feb 18, 2018 at 20:03 | comment | added | Scott - Слава Україні | (1) You got the links backwards (1 ↔ 2). (2) It’s not entirely obvious to me how well “Exclusive Or Logic” relates to the question. In a true XOR situation, one of two values must be true. In the context of the question, it just so happens that the deal benefits only one party instead of both, but it’s not a structural constraint of the environment. And your ecosystem example is really more of a NAND situation: it might be impossible for both to survive, but possible for both to fail. If you can justify your reference to “Exclusive Or Logic”, please edit your answer to make it clearer. | |

Straightened out links.

| Feb 17, 2018 at 20:46 | comment | added | Scott - Слава Україні | When I saw this question, “zero-sum (game)” was the first thing that popped into my mind. (And then I saw that you were giving it as an answer.) It might not be a perfect fit for the question (“benefits only one party instead of both” — but not “benefits only one party and hurts the other”), but it’s sufficiently relevant that I’m astonished that nobody else has submitted it in a year and a half. The pretentious police will like this post better if you add a link to something that discusses zero-sum situations. | |
