If there are reliable precommittment mechanisms for the topic, this makes it simultaneous. It still has a more complicated payout structure (publish/blackmail/bury X pay/no-pay in the blackmail case (and perhaps in the publish case, if the “victim” makes an unsolicited offer)), and different payouts for different amounts asked/offered in the blackmail box). It’s not clear that the values in any part of the matrix correspond to PD for any specific piece of information.
This is a good point, but perhaps precommitting to give in/not give in vs. precommitting to blackmail/not blackmail is a simultaneous choice.
