  What's with the "Gift" popup after every match play game?  It's irritating and a rude try to make even more money for WGT.

  It's there, it's irritating and it may be called a rude try.

  What else?

  What do you mean by "What else"?   I guess you are agreeing with me.  Thanks

  What is so rude about that? it’s how the game is design by them..options, take the game how it is, or find a game that suits your needs.

  Your Q was, "what is with..." and I gave some answers. Then I asked what else there might be.

  You're only guessing - take what I wrote before.

  Here and in general, I see their attempts to gain revenue as justified. We can always avoid the worst.

  Thanks

  Not for that.

  All I posted was one tiny, unimportant question purely out of curiosity.  But what I got back was a tirade from what appears to be a self-important person who enjoys denigrating others.  In the future bother someone who cares. (No further comments from me)

           It's their game, their way of making the $ to satisfy the new owners.

           You came to THEIR house to play!  You got to play by THEIR rules.  my nickle

  Actually, your initial post approximates a tirade much more than alosso's response. You term WGT "irritating and rude." And you post this in response to a company that is simply attempting to generate revenue, which is what businesses do.
  
  The end-of-the-round popup is little different than getting an ad while watching TV. Even Netflix has ads. They are not rude; they're part of business and consumerism.
  
  Additionally, I don't see where alosso is someone who "enjoys denigrating others." Certainly, he didn't denigrate you. He simply didn't agree with you. And over that, you got upset. Well, maybe you should consider switching to decaf.

  One other thought: some people are generous and when they have an especially good time during a round they feel like giving to those they played with. Not a thing wrong with being given the chance to be generous.
