This seems pretty normal to me. I used to get a 6 month WoW sub for my birthday in summer and then again at Christmas and that was what, over 15 years ago. Also I was an adult, but still, hobby supplies are a great gift.

Yep. I begged my parents for a RuneScape membership as a kid. Now I pay for my own subscriptions. If someone wanted to buy me a game time card for FFXIV though, I would be far from upset

Did the same for FFXI but game cards didn't exist so I had to beg for my dad's cc number which was a huge deal in 04.

I keep telling my family to just give me steam cards for Christmas but they don't like giving gift cards cause there's "no thought" but don't understand that I don't buy physical games anymore.
