  Zero-sum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Other non-zero-sum games are games in which the sum of gains and losses by the players are always more or less than what they began with.
For example, a game of poker played in a casino is a zero-sum game unless the pleasure of gambling or the cost of operating a casino is taken into account, making it a non-zero-sum game.
The concept was first developed in game theory and consequently zero-sum situations are often called zero-sum games though this does not imply that the concept, or game theory itself, applies only to what are commonly referred to as games.

 Game theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Game theory is a hybrid branch of applied mathematics and economics that studies strategic situations where players choose different actions in an attempt to maximize their returns.
Game theorists may assume players always act rationally to maximize their wins (the Homo economicus model), but real humans often act either irrationally, or act rationally to maximize the wins of some larger group of people (altruism).
Game theory experienced a flurry of activity in the 1950s, during which time the concepts of the core, the extensive form game, fictitious play, repeated games, and the Shapley value were developed.

A "friendly" poker game is zero-sum, but in a casino game, the house takes a proportion of the pot, so the sum of the winnings is less the more the players bet.

 F-ZERO GX Review - GameCube
Games became so fast and so futuristic that a new sub-genre was formed: extreme racing games.
Any game can take your breath away when it's not moving, but to do it while four people are playing the game – that's a work of art.
It's tough for game developers to continue to impress us on the current hardware, which appears to have aged a little too fast thanks to games like Gran Turismo 3, which to this day blows every simulation game out of the water (in terms of both graphics and gameplay).

 The Killer List of Videogames> - Zero Wing
This game was licensed to Williams for manufacture and distribution in the United States.
Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.
Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.

Although zero-sum games are not terribly interesting to economists, who typically study situations where there are gains to trade, most common parlor games such as poker and chess are zero sum: one player wins, one loses.
We typically write a zero-sum game by forming a matrix and allowing one player to choose the rows and the other the columns.

For those who don't know, it's a racing game set in the far future--the original F-Zero on the SNES was the original inspiration for Wipeout, but now that Sony's future racing series seems to have run out of steam the stage is set for Nintendo's baby (now developed by Sega) to reclaim its crown.

 GZ Reviews--Battlemorph   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
R.I.P. This game was entertaining enough at first, but after a while it seemed to get into a bit of a rut for me. Much like its predicessor, you fly a ship around 3-D terrains accompanied by a dissembodied woman's head who points out things for you (such as being low on shields, etc...).
I wasn't all that excited about the intermissions, and I really didn't think the announcer voice fit well into the game (the guy sounded like he was trying really hard to do a Sean Connary impersonation).
I will say though that this game is good enough that I must rank it as one of the better overall Jaguar titles to-date, and I'm really disappointed it took so long to see the light of day in respect to what's happened to Atari.

It is the application of the term zero sum where it should not be applied that is in error on this thread.

Maybe the net zero sum of a market or game can be evaluated by how it's individual componet parts fit the definition and thereby the market or game as a whole will have a matching outcome.

But the game turns deadly as its players become pawns, with the fate of the hero and the world resting in the hands of a teenaged intern.
Brad Meltzer, the author of "The Zero Game," does well when he discusses the inner workings of Congress, especially the machinations of lobbyists, the horse trading that occurs during appropriations meetings, and the quid pro quos that grease the wheels of politics.
All of the characters in THE ZERO GAME are pretty two-dimensonal and underdeveloped.

the way i see it...the only way it can be a zero-sum game is if every company in the market went bankrupt and became worthless and im pretty sure this wont happen.
If you buy in the primary market, perhaps it could be a positive sum game for investors (at the opportunity expense of the company).
But, once you get to the secondary market, and there is a fixed number of shares outstanding, for every buyer there must be a seller...for every winner, there is a loser.
