How to aggregate remaining virtual currency held by all users?

Hi,

Is there any way to aggregate all user's virtual currency?

Or can I see such values somewhere in GameManager?

In some countries, developers are required to regularly report to the government the amount of remaining virtual currency held by all users.

Thanks in advance.

It is possible but may need additional work. When Virtual Currency is changed, PlayFab will generate “player_virtual_currency_balance_changed” PlayStream Event, and there is a property “VirtualCurrencyBalance” in the payload that stands for the latest VC value.

You may need to write a custom Kusto Query that will list all active players’ latest “player_virtual_currency_balance_changed” event during a specific time span, so that you can print out the VirtualCurrencyBalance value for each player.

Thank you for your reply.

I read the documents about PlayStream event.

I'm wondering if it's possible to keep the latest “player_virtual_currency_balance_changed” for one player forever.

For example, suppose a user purchases $100 worth of virtual currency on November 1, 2021, then she uninstalls the app.

I have to aggregate this $100 worth of virtual currency in 2022, 2023, ... and 2030 (as long as the app survives)

Is it possible?

It is not supported, but you are able to use Event Export feature to dump the event archives to external database. Both Azure Blob and AWS S3 are supported.
