25.Deferred revenue and deferred platform commission fees

Deferred revenue is associated with the portion of in-game purchases revenue that is recognized over time and is expected to be recognized over an estimated average playing period of the paying users. The performance obligations for both the virtual currency and the underlying virtual goods (comprising the right to use the virtual items and the maintenance of the digital game environment) have been assessed as highly interrelated and are therefore treated as a single performance obligation under IFRS 15. As a result, for the portion of unconverted currency expected to be used for durable items, revenue is recognized over the average playing period of paying users in our games beginning from the date of the virtual currency purchase. For the portion expected to be converted into consumable items, the unconverted virtual currency balance is included in the deferred revenue balance at the reporting date and recognized at a point in time upon the consumption of the virtual goods. At each period-end, we allocate the balance of unconverted virtual currency between consumable and durable items using the actual conversion mix observed during the reporting period.
