This is an excerpt from the article
"We like the word 'game' because we played video games," Chen said. "Everything can be represented by games, everything from politics, job search, even love."An example is when a boy wants to win a girl, Chen said. He can use game theory to decide his moves.
"You can use this game to benefit you by listing the possible outcomes. Let's say if I present her with a gift, what will she think? You can list the possible outcomes and plan four, five or six steps ahead."
The statement about "Everything can be represented by games,..."is very indicative to me how "serious" games are to a multitude of people. I'm still hoping to apply game theory to my final studio project this semester. I would love to see the diagram he was showing in the image above.
