You buy a hot new game on super sale, wait for it to download, launch it, get all settled in to play, and then a box pops up saying “GIFT THIS GAME! Go to the iTunes App Store Now. Pull down the “Buy App” arrow and select “Gift This App”. No, Thanks. YES.” — is that smart marketing on the part of the game company or an obnoxious intrusion into your gaming?
Fair exchange and helpful reminder for the cheap $0.99 price, or GIFT THIS GAME! and YES all caps, shouting just harshening your gaming mellow?
