Advertising Disclosure
At Pixel Core, we believe in transparency regarding our advertising relationships and how we generate revenue. This Advertising Disclosure explains our policies on affiliate partnerships, sponsored content, and third-party advertising.
Last updated: November 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
We are committed to maintaining trust with our audience by being transparent about our advertising practices and financial relationships. This disclosure is provided in accordance with consumer protection regulations and industry best practices.
Our recommendations and content are always based on our professional expertise and genuine assessment of value to our audience. When we receive compensation for recommendations or mentions, we clearly disclose that relationship.
Affiliate Relationships
What Are Affiliate Programs
Affiliate programs allow us to earn commissions when visitors click on certain links and make purchases. These programs help support our operations and enable us to provide valuable content and services.
Our Affiliate Participation
Pixel Core may participate in affiliate programs with various companies that provide tools, software, or services relevant to game development. When we recommend products or services, some links may be affiliate links.
You will not pay any additional cost when purchasing through affiliate links. The commission comes from the merchant, not from any markup on your purchase.
Product Recommendation Policy
We follow these principles when making product or service recommendations:
▸ We only recommend products or services we have experience with or have thoroughly researched
▸ Our recommendations are based on genuine assessment of quality and value
▸ Affiliate relationships do not influence our honest evaluation of products or services
▸ We clearly disclose when links are affiliate links
Financial Relationship Transparency
When we receive compensation for recommendations, we maintain editorial independence. Our professional reputation depends on providing honest, valuable guidance to our audience, and we never compromise that for financial gain.
Sponsored Content
Identification of Paid Content
From time to time, we may publish content that has been sponsored or paid for by third parties. All sponsored content is clearly labeled and distinguished from our regular editorial content.
Sponsored content will be marked with clear disclosures such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or similar language to ensure you know when content is paid for by advertisers.
Content Standards
Even when content is sponsored, we maintain editorial control and ensure it meets our quality standards. We only accept sponsorships from companies whose products or services align with our audience's interests and needs.
Brand Partnership Disclosure
When we enter into brand partnerships or ambassadorship arrangements, we disclose these relationships. Our opinions and recommendations remain our own, even when we have formal relationships with brands.
Content Authenticity
We never publish misleading or deceptive content, whether sponsored or not. All claims made in sponsored content are verified to the best of our ability, and we require advertisers to substantiate their claims.
