What does R&D software expense mean?
This metric captures the costs associated with the design, development, and testing of new game titles and software technologies. It excludes costs that are capitalized as intangible assets, focusing instead on the ongoing investment required to maintain a competitive pipeline of intellectual property. High levels of R&D are essential for sustaining long-term growth in the highly competitive gaming industry.
