In-app GIFT THIS GAME popup

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?
