Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2025
FTC Required Disclosure
This website contains affiliate links. When you click on or purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This disclosure is required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to ensure transparency about our affiliate relationships.
Running a website involves various costs including hosting, domain registration, development, and maintenance. We use affiliate marketing as one of our revenue streams to help cover these costs and keep our platform free for all users.
We are actively working with various affiliate programs and gaming retailers. When affiliate links are present on our site, we clearly mark them and ensure full transparency about our affiliate relationships.
Affiliate links are special URLs that contain tracking codes. When you click on these links and make a purchase, the retailer can track that you came from our website and pays us a small commission for the referral.
The price you pay remains exactly the same - there is no additional cost to you. The commission we receive comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your purchase.
We are actively working with affiliate programs for gaming-related products and services:
Digital Game Stores
Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop, GOG, Humble Bundle, Green Man Gaming, and other digital platforms.
Gaming Hardware & Accessories
Controllers, headsets, keyboards, mice, gaming chairs, and other gaming accessories from major retailers.
Gaming Merchandise
Gaming merchandise, collectibles, and products related to the games we review.
Current status: We are actively setting up partnerships with various affiliate networks and retailers. All affiliate links will be clearly marked when they become active.
When affiliate links are present on our site, we make them clearly identifiable:
- Clear labels such as "Buy Now", "Get It Here", or "Purchase"
- Visual indicators and badges that identify affiliate links
- This disclosure page linked in the footer and on relevant pages
- Prominent disclosure statements on pages containing affiliate links
- Clear indication of which retailer or platform the link leads to
We believe in complete transparency. If a link generates revenue for us, you will always be informed.
Honest Reviews
Affiliate commissions will never influence our reviews. We maintain editorial independence and provide honest, unbiased reviews regardless of potential affiliate revenue. If a game has issues, we will clearly state them, even if we could earn commissions from sales.
Sponsored Content Policy
We do not accept payment for positive reviews. All reviews are based on genuine gameplay experience and honest assessment. Any sponsored content will be clearly marked as such.
User-Generated Content
Our platform allows users to submit their own reviews. We moderate content to ensure it complies with our terms of service, but we do not censor opinions or remove reviews based on affiliate relationships.
Affiliate marketing helps us keep this platform free and accessible to all users. Instead of charging subscription fees or displaying intrusive advertisements, we can earn revenue when you make purchases through our affiliate links.
We are committed to complete transparency about our revenue sources and affiliate relationships. We believe this builds trust with our community and ensures compliance with FTC guidelines.
