These days, the latter will likely be interpreted as a misquoted Hunger Games reference in some venues that might otherwise seem sufficiently selective.
Well, it will give the impression (if interpreted that way) of being a pop culture reference when it’s not, but I assume that’s not what you mean.
It’s not as obviously problematic as if, say, the HG characters were simply rolling dice to see who survived, or devoting significant resources to invoking the favor of their gods, or some such antirationalist meme; the movie is at least nodding in the direction of game theoretical concerns, if not necessarily showing much insight into them. So it could be worse.

I haven’t watched Hunger Games. Or read it. I do like that phrasing, though.
Will using it give the wrong impression?

Is that not the intended interpretation?
Nope, was using that before I read (some of) Hunger Games.
