By definition Negative Feedback Loops are in opposition to Positive Feedback Loops. This means that they cannot be combined regarding the same aspect of a game state but different types of loops can exist for different parts of the game state.
Consequences
Red Queen Dilemmas may appear out of Negative Feedback Loops if players perceive a need to continue putting effort into the things measured by the loop. Negative Feedback Loops created through using Geometric Progression cause Diminishing Returns for players. This may in turn encourage them to engage in Varied Gameplay to find other venues to advance their positions during a game instance.
