Years after my parents got a divorse, my father found another woman who was a nerd and had hundreds of video games. She collected the CDs from that one gaming magazine Computer BILD Spiele. ("Spiele" = "games") That's how I became aware of the magazine. It regularly came with many small and often one full game (mostly older ones, though). Hence, I regularly got myself the magazine as I didn't have the money for 40€+ retail games
I became obsessed with those magazines. When relatives asked me what they could get me as presents, I was often lost, not knowing what to wish for
(except for that one time, at bandcamp, when ALL I wanted as a Wii) (which ofc I didn't get)
So I often casually suggested that they could get me a current edition of that magazine. As it is cheap, they usually liked that idea
