The game is that if you refuse, the person loses their $999,999.

  Which makes it even more horrifying. Why would you cause someone to lose something because they gave you some of it? It's pure evil.

    It's not their money "to lose". Neither player has any right to the money until the game is over and the game isn't over until they've both made a decision. That's the difference between this game and a millionaire offering you money. You may be lucky to be offered anything in both cases but in one you are being screwed in the context of the game. It's a matter of returning the favor. It may not be the most economically sound decision but if the amount lost isn't significant to you, it doesn't matter. > It's pure evil. "markdown took $99 of $100?! He caused me to lose money. He's pure evil." No. It's not my money to lose but I don't like the way you played the game so I'll pass on the $1, thanks.
