In order for us to better understand your analysis and response to prior comment 2, please provide a more specific discussion of the underlying nature of your in-game content. In this regard, please tell us if and how content can transfer a benefit to a player beyond the time the content is purchased. In addition, tell us if and how the estimated offering period for the content differs from that of the game. 3. We note your response to prior comment 3. Please further explain how you considered the fact that the online hosting allows for multiple player use in determining that you have met the allocation objective. We refer you to ASC 606-10-32-28. 4. Specifically with regards to the performance obligation related to online functionality, please help us understand the different roles and responsibilities that you and your platform partners have with respect to technology, host configurations, maintenance and services. Tell us whether you use your own or third-party servers to host the multiplayer or online game play and describe the interaction of your online functionality with Sony and Microsoft's platforms. Compare and contrast the different service obligations that you and your platform partners have with respect to the players who purchase your games and how such obligations factored into your determination of the standalone selling price and the transaction price allocation for your game related services. 5. Please confirm to us that your full games with online-only functionality, which require an Internet connection to access all gameplay and functionality ("Online-Hosted Service Games") do not contain a software license. If the arrangement does contain a license, provide us with your analysis of the factors considered in determining that the software and online hosting are not separately identifiable. We refer you to ASC 606-10-25-21. 6. We note that revenue from subscriptions, such as Origin Access, Origin Access Premier and EA Access, is recognized over the subscription term. We further note that subscriptions are offered for a recurring monthly or annual fee. Please tell us whether these arrangements contain a license and, if so, how you determined that revenue for arrangements that extend beyond one month should be recognized over time.
