| Software, Internal-Use | We capitalize direct costs for internal-use software projects when it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Costs incurred prior to meeting the probable threshold and post-implementation maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, generally 2 to 10 years. We purchase, license and incur costs to develop external use software and game themes (collectively referred to as software) to be used in the products we sell, lease or market to customers. Costs incurred in creating software are expensed when incurred as R&D until technological feasibility has been established, after which costs are capitalized up to the date the software is available for general release to customers. Generally, the software we develop reaches technological feasibility when a working model of the software is available. We capitalize the payments made for software that we purchase or license for use in our products that has previously met the technological feasibility criteria prior to our purchase or license. Additionally, we incur and capitalize regulatory approval costs for our game themes after technological feasibility is achieved. Amortization of capitalized software costs is recorded over the estimated economic life, which is typically 2 to 10 years.
