    It's only fun and relatively useful if you have a complex problem that needs some applying of it, and even then it's just one strategy. It's not even necesarily the optimal one, since the theory assumes too much about the environment.
    In da butt.

      Game Theory:

      The more boobies on the cover of the game box, the more teenage boys males who will illegally download it.

        I don't mind if Game Theory doesn't explain everything, I know that nothing does that till now. I'm just saying that even if it helps me understand certain specific things better, it's worth it.

        And I've noticed that knowledge from one field always turns out to be helpful in understanding another, at the oddest of times, even though you think they may be completely unrelated. So every little bit helps.

        You never know when you might find it useful.

            It's just a strategy at the end, not the world. You've been duped by prolly some hippies.
            A lot of biological systems can be much better understood with some game theory tools even if most animals havn't read much on the subject.

              QFT. It's immensely useful in a whole lot of fields if you know how to use it properly.

                Indeed. Game theory in its most theoretical is quite interesting in a lot of places; the mathematical models might not be that useful outside of economics, but being aware of the various reasons people defect (or don't defect) can be very useful in and of itself.
