When I pay money to buy food I don't need to ask how the shop is going to use that money: I gave money, I got food. If I am going to donate money to a company/NGO that wants to buy food for poor people, of course I am interested i

To be fair, we are talking about arcade games. You were not supposed to finish them, but to finish your money before that :-) [ ]. You are paying for a game, so you have the right to continue playing until you die. In that context, restarti
