I don't understand their whole issue with the SC stockpile for the next game they release, They are still getting the membership cash NOW for that 500sc that will be spent on imaginary pixels at a future point when the $5 it would cost for the 500sc would be worth even less if it was just purchased at that later date. They should love that people are giving them more money today, at 3 times the price, and not in a year plus for the same amount of SC at standard price.

I would think unrecognized income would be great because you have real cash in hand and you won't have to pay taxes on it until it is recognized. At least I believe that's how it works (any tax experts feel free to correct me).

This is how things like this have worked forever not sure why they think the accounting is weird. If you buy a gift card from a company they can't recognize that money until you buy poo poo with the giftcard. Yeah they have your money but you are still owed a service for that money that hasn't been claimed yet. Virtual items are just weird because they aren't real.
