Advertising Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Ludosphere, we believe in maintaining complete transparency with our website visitors and clients. This Advertising Disclosure explains our advertising practices, affiliate relationships, and how we handle sponsored content.

We are committed to providing honest and valuable information to our audience. When we have financial relationships that could potentially influence our content, we disclose them clearly.

Affiliate Relationships

Affiliate Program Participation

Ludosphere may participate in affiliate programs with various software vendors, tool providers, and service companies relevant to the game development industry. When we recommend products or services through affiliate links, we may receive a commission if you make a purchase through those links.

Commission-Based Links

Some links on our website may be affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission at no additional cost to you if you click through and make a purchase. These commissions help support our content creation and allow us to continue providing valuable resources.

Product Recommendation Policy

We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe will benefit our audience. Our recommendations are based on quality, usefulness, and relevance to game development, not on the commission amount we might receive.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We disclose all material financial relationships that could affect our content. If we have a financial interest in a product or service we discuss, we will make that clear in the relevant content.

Sponsored Content

Identification of Paid Content

Any content that has been paid for or sponsored by a third party will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," "Paid Partnership," or similar terminology. We never disguise paid content as editorial content.

Sponsored Post Labeling

When we publish sponsored posts, reviews, or promotional content, these are marked prominently at the beginning of the content. Our sponsored content policy ensures readers can easily distinguish between paid and organic content.

Brand Partnership Disclosures

Any brand partnerships or collaborations that involve compensation (monetary or in-kind) are disclosed. This includes free products received for review, sponsored trips or events, and paid endorsements.

Content Authenticity

Even when content is sponsored, we maintain editorial control and integrity. Sponsored content reflects our honest opinions and experiences. We do not publish sponsored content that contradicts our values or could mislead our audience.
