Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: November 5, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At PlayForge, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising relationships and monetization practices. This disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various partnerships and how this might influence the content we provide.
We are committed to providing honest, unbiased information about game development training, and we maintain editorial independence regardless of any financial relationships. Your trust is important to us, and we want you to understand exactly how our business works.
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Program Participation
PlayForge participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. These affiliate relationships help support our operations and allow us to continue providing valuable content.
Affiliate relationships may include:
- Software and development tools
- Educational resources and courses
- Game development platforms and services
- Hardware and equipment
Commission-Based Compensation
When you make a purchase through our affiliate links, the company whose product or service you purchased pays us a commission. This commission comes from the seller's marketing budget and does not increase the price you pay.
The amount of commission we receive varies depending on the product, service, and affiliate program terms. These financial relationships do not influence our editorial decisions or the integrity of our recommendations.
Product Recommendation Policies
Our product recommendations are based on:
- Professional experience and expertise in game development
- Thorough research and evaluation
- Genuine belief in the value and quality of the products or services
- Relevance to our audience's needs and interests
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain transparency by clearly indicating when content contains affiliate links or when we have a financial relationship with mentioned companies. We will never recommend a product or service solely because of potential commissions. Our primary commitment is to provide valuable, accurate information to help you make informed decisions about your game development education.
Sponsored Content
Paid Promotions and Content
Occasionally, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions. This occurs when companies pay us to create content featuring their products, services, or brand. All sponsored content is clearly labeled as such, and we maintain full editorial control over its creation.
Sponsored content policies include:
- Clear labeling of all sponsored posts and advertisements
- Honest opinions regardless of sponsorship arrangements
- Only partnering with brands aligned with our values
- Maintaining editorial independence and integrity
Brand Partnership Disclosures
We may enter into long-term partnerships with brands in the game development industry. These partnerships might include:

All brand partnerships are disclosed appropriately, and we remain committed to providing unbiased, valuable content regardless of these relationships.
Content Authenticity Guarantee
Despite any financial relationships or sponsorships, we guarantee that all content reflects our honest professional opinions and expertise. We will never compromise the quality or integrity of our educational content for financial gain. If we wouldn't genuinely recommend something to a colleague or student, we won't recommend it on our platform.
