ah! "longest game *POSSIBLE*" speaks to discount rates. At economically driven discount rates, the future essentially disappears in 50 years. Which definitely seems nowhere near long enough. Unless one truly believes "the singularity is near". How do we discount the future?

Most of my friends seem to be eternalists, ie they are subconsciously driven by a reward function that integrates over an unbounded span (most if which lies outside of the universe). In practice, continued existence is not relevant, because there is no true continuity anywhere.
