Advertising Disclosure

Our Affiliate Participation

We may participate in affiliate programs for:

• Game development tools and software platforms
• Technology services and hosting providers
• Educational resources and training programs
• Development frameworks and libraries
• Analytics and business tools

Commission-Based Links

Some links on our website may be affiliate links. When you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us maintain our website and provide valuable content.

Affiliate links are typically marked with appropriate disclosure, though the presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our honest assessment of products or services.

Product Recommendation Policy

We only recommend products and services that we have personally used, thoroughly researched, or believe will provide value to our audience. Our recommendations are based on quality and relevance, not solely on potential commission rates.

Financial Relationship Transparency

When we have a financial relationship with a company whose products or services we discuss, we disclose this relationship clearly. This ensures you can make informed decisions while understanding any potential conflicts of interest.

Sponsored Post Policy

When creating sponsored content, we maintain editorial independence by:

• Clearly labeling all sponsored posts at the beginning of the content
• Maintaining honest opinions even in paid partnerships
• Declining sponsorships that conflict with our values or audience interests
• Ensuring sponsored content aligns with our quality standards

Brand Partnership Disclosure

We may enter into partnerships with brands that align with our business focus on game development. These partnerships are selected carefully to ensure they provide genuine value to our audience. All such relationships are disclosed prominently.

Content Authenticity

We guarantee that sponsored content reflects our genuine experiences and opinions. Sponsors do not control the content we create, and we reserve the right to share honest assessments even when compensation is involved.

Advertising Networks We Use

We may work with advertising platforms including:

• Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager
• Industry-specific advertising networks relevant to game development
• Retargeting and remarketing platforms

Each network operates under its own privacy policy and data collection practices.
