Advertising Disclosure

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, we may create sponsored content or accept compensation for featuring specific products, services, or companies. All sponsored content is clearly identified with:

• Clear labeling as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or similar disclosure
• Prominent placement of disclosure at the beginning of the content
• Distinction from our editorial content
• Transparency about the sponsoring party

Sponsored Post Labeling Policies

When we publish sponsored content, we maintain editorial standards to ensure it provides value to our audience. Sponsored content must be relevant to game development, technically accurate, and useful to our readers. We reserve the right to decline sponsorship opportunities that don't align with our values or audience interests.

Brand Partnership Disclosures

We occasionally partner with brands for longer-term collaborations. These partnerships may involve creating content, showcasing products, or participating in joint projects. All brand partnerships are disclosed clearly, and we maintain editorial independence in expressing our professional opinions about partner products and services.

Content Authenticity Guarantees

Regardless of whether content is sponsored, we commit to:

• Maintaining honest and accurate information
• Providing our genuine professional opinions
• Disclosing any limitations or drawbacks we identify
• Never making false or misleading claims
• Preserving our editorial integrity
