29. In reality, the open access game consists of a lot of players. One can therefore understand player B moreover as an overall construct of the probabilistic choice of the whole scientific community in which A is embedded.
30. By using this formalization, we assume that both scientists are on a similar level of reputation. It can be shown that if they have different "starting" reputation values, the outcome of the classical game would be the same.
31. In contrast to the original stag hunt game, where hunting a stag alone results in a payoff of zero, in this case the single open access performer gets a payoff of 1, simply because a reputation value of zero is unrealistic. A reputation value of zero only makes sense, if reputation is seen as a relative quantity (see Section 2.2.1).
