Prisoner's dilemma

Classic one. Where reporting the other always leads to lower punishment for you, so both do the same. Where the benefits of working together lead to the summatively best outcome together, but without enough information, the best action that can be done by the self is the most egoistically beneficial to the specific individual; thus, it is chosen. If both parties act this way, the net outcome is still not as good compared to the net-best one.
