The basic premise of a season pass follows the real world concept of a sporting season ticket, and gives gamers open access to time bound events and activities in a game's world. These frequently run for about 3 months before expiring, at which point a new season pass must be redeemed. With each season, developers offer fresh content, features and customisation options to incentivise renewal. This method of monetization is very effective as it means a game can continue earning revenue long past its initial release date. The concept has a long running association with DLC(downloadable content packs) release and can be seen as a refinement and serialisation of them. 2, record 1, English, - season%20pass

The South African mining industry generally uses the appropriation method of accounting, which closely resembles cash flow accounting. It is based on the premise that mines have a finite life... The principle is adopted that members’ funds are invested in a wasting asset and the cost of mining assets over and above the initial capital is provided out of profits earned... This method is the generally accepted standard for the deep level gold mining industry in South Africa and is used for statutory and regulatory compliance. 2, record 2, English, - appropriation%20accounting
