Wait, you're invoking RNNs as a simpler model than game theory?

It's not simpler, but it is bound to go over better on Hackernews.

Exactly. People here sort of already know RNNs. You could use RNNs in your game theory game (see AlphaGo, etc), but Game Theory is just a set of principals for defining a "Game", and defining incentives, etc.

If the game doesn't properly account for some incentive, it's the problem of the model designer, just like it would be the problem of the RNN designer not gathering the right type of training data.
