contents We study stochastic dynamics of the Prisoner's Dilemma game on random Erdös-Rényi and Barabási-Albert networks with a cost of maintaining a link between interacting players. Stochastic simulations show that when the cost increases, the population of players located on Barabási-Albert network undergoes a sharp transition from an ordered state, where almost all players cooperate, to a state in which both cooperators and defectors coexist. At the critical cost, the population oscillates in time between these two states. Such a situation is not present in the Erdös-Rényi network. We provide some heuristic analytical arguments for the phase transition and the value of the critical cost in the Barabási-Albert network.
