In games of plain complements with simultaneous moves, the Nash equilibrium is not Pareto efficient. This is because in such games, both players have dominant strategies that maximize their payoffs, which results in a unique Nash equilibrium. However, this equilibrium is not Pareto efficient as there may be alternative outcomes where both players could be better off simultaneously.
