We prove the existence of a pure subgame–perfect epsilon–equilibrium, for every epsilon > 0, in multiplayer perfect information games, provided that the payoff functions are bounded and exhibit common preferences at the limit. If, in addition, the payoff functions have finite range, then there exists a pure subgame–perfect 0–equilibrium. These results extend and unify recent existence theorems for bounded and semicontinuous payoffs.
