Why does Stillfront report “Deferred revenues”?

Stillfont’s games are essentially free-to-play games, which means that players can access the base platform for free. Players then have the choice to buy in-game currency (IGC), which can be used in the game to enhance the gaming experience. Such a transaction is referred to as a Deposit. Revenue is recognized by Stillfront when the player uses the IGC to acquire a virtual good in the game.

The share of the Deposit which has not been used in-game during the period is classified as Deferred revenue (i.e. advance payments from players). If a player does not use the IGC for an in-game transaction during a specific period of time, the player becomes classified as inactive and the value of the player’s remaining IGC is recognized as revenue. The length of the period is determined on a game-by-game basis.
