Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: September 28, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Arcade Axis, we believe in complete transparency regarding our business relationships and advertising practices. This disclosure explains how we may earn income through various partnerships and advertising programs.
We comply with Federal Trade Commission guidelines and industry best practices to ensure all commercial relationships are clearly disclosed to our visitors and clients.
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Program Participation
Arcade Axis participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may receive compensation when you click on certain links or purchase products through our recommendations.
Affiliate programs we may participate in include partnerships with game development tool providers, software platforms, and industry-related services. These relationships help us maintain our website and continue providing valuable content.
Commission-Based Links
- Some links on our website may be affiliate links that generate commission
- Clicking affiliate links does not cost you anything additional
- We may earn a small percentage when purchases are made through these links
- Products and services we recommend are based on merit, not commission rates
Product Recommendation Policy
Our product and service recommendations are based on our professional experience and genuine belief in their value. We only promote tools and services that we would use ourselves or recommend to clients.
The presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our honest assessment of products or services. We maintain editorial independence and prioritize your best interests.
Financial Relationship Transparency
When we discuss or recommend products that involve affiliate relationships, we disclose this connection. These disclosures may appear as notices on relevant pages, in content descriptions, or through clear labeling of affiliate links.
Sponsored Content
Paid Promotions
From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions from partners in the game development industry. This content is clearly labeled to distinguish it from our regular editorial content.
Sponsored content indicators include labels such as "Sponsored Post," "Paid Partnership," or "In Collaboration With." These disclosures appear prominently at the beginning of sponsored material.
Sponsored Post Labeling
- All sponsored content is clearly marked and disclosed
- Compensation arrangements are disclosed to maintain transparency
- We retain editorial control over all sponsored content
- Sponsors do not dictate our opinions or recommendations
Brand Partnership Disclosures
We may form partnerships with brands and companies in the gaming industry. These partnerships involve compensation in exchange for promotion, content creation, or other marketing activities. All such relationships are disclosed where relevant.
Content Authenticity Guarantee
Even when content is sponsored, we maintain our commitment to providing valuable, accurate information. We refuse partnerships that would compromise our integrity or mislead our audience.
Our reputation and your trust are more valuable than any sponsorship. We carefully evaluate all partnership opportunities and decline those that don't align with our values.
