-Team-based games such as [[Counter-Strike]], [[Soccer]], and [[Space Alert]] have [[Symbiotic Player Relations]] since players chances of winning are directly affected by what happens to all members of their teams. For ''Mario Kart: Double Dash‼'' in the [[Mario Kart series]] the relation is even more explicit since players share the same vehicle in a race. The fortunes of other players affect those who play [[Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game]] also, but here some traitors make it impossible to rely on everybody before these have been exposed. The chances of completing levels in the [[Left 4 Dead series]] as survivors are greatly increased if the other survivors play well, but this relation is on a voluntary basis and individuals can save themselves without regards for the fate of the others.

 Players of [[Diplomacy]], [[So Long Sucker]], and iterated [[Prisoner's Dilemma]] games can form [[Symbiotic Player Relations]] but the designs of the games make well-timed defections or betrayals powerful moves.

 ''Gameplay relations between players that make successes and failure of one player affect another similarly, and vice versa.''
-In many games the fortunes or misfortunes of one players may affects other players as well. When these ripple effects match the original effects, i.e. good effect for one player becomes a good effect for another player and the same for bad effects, the players are inclined to help each other. The will to help other players can also occur with less direct cause-effect relations, e.g. players may be able to perform actions that only benefits other players but those players also have actions that only can affect other players. When the combinations of goals and actions available make players benefit from cooperating in any of these fashions, the players have [[Symbiotic Player Relations]].

 Note that [[Symbiotic Player Relations]] does not imply that players always have to collaborate or that this may be the most efficient gameplay strategy or tactic. While symbiosis may be necessary (or obligated), it can also be facultative so that partners in the relationship benefit from it but can exist without it<ref name="wiki"/>.

-Quite expectantly, [[Symbiotic Player Relations]] gives rise to [[Cooperation]]. These [[Symbiotic Player Relations]] do not require that the benefits at once spread to all involved players, this since [[Delayed Reciprocity]] can be expected by the players (which in turn can lead to [[Guilting]]). If the relation is not obligated, the patterns opens up for [[Betrayal]]. If the relation is mapped in diegetic terms, the relations are a form of [[Loyalty]].
