Can someone make a clarification for me?

I dont fully understand why some people treat Gold as revenue for FM. I just find that to be redundant, considering they are the ones who distribute the currency, they can make as much fo it as they want. Is it only "revenue" because of the fact that the option exists to buy gold with real world currency? i.e. less in game currency available, equals more real world currency coming in from customers so they can get more real world currency?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
