Finite vs Infinite Games
There are finite games and infinite games.
- Finite games are known players with known rules with goals to win the game.
- Infinite games have known and unknown players, rules that can change, and the goal to keep playing the game
When players are both competing at the same finite or infinite game, the game is stable. When there is an opposition, the finite player will burn though resources and willpower to compete and the infinite player will just be playing the game.
