That is a "positive sum game". A "positive sum game" is one in which you
come out of the game "ahead" of where you were before entering the game.
A "zero sum game" is one in which you neither win nor lose. You come out
no worse or better than you were before. A "negative sum game" is one in
which you lose. You come out worse off than you were before.
