Changing rewards reshape strategies in classic game-theory models
Researchers modeled classic games with rewards that vary randomly between rounds. Even small changes can allow cooperators and defectors to coexist, while stronger variation can shift the stable strategy of an entire population.

- The prisoner’s dilemma can support coexistence between cooperators and defectors.
