Advertising Disclosure

Program Participation

Fablecraft may participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may receive a commission when you purchase products or services through certain links on our website. These programs include:

• • Game development tool and software affiliates
• • Educational resource and course providers
• • Technology services and platforms relevant to game development
• • Professional services and business tools

Commission Structure

When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The company paying the commission is typically the one you're purchasing from, not us. These commissions help support our website operations and content creation.

Product Recommendations

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our honest assessment of products and services. When we recommend tools or resources:

• • We only recommend products and services we believe have genuine value
• • We clearly disclose when a link is an affiliate link
• • Our opinions remain independent regardless of commission potential
• • We may recommend non-affiliate products if they better serve your needs

Financial Transparency

Affiliate commissions typically range from a small percentage to a fixed fee per sale. The exact amount varies by program and product. These earnings help us continue providing valuable content and services to the game development community.

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions. When we do, we clearly identify this content in the following ways:

• • Clear labeling at the beginning of the content with terms like "Sponsored," "Paid Promotion," or "Advertisement"
• • Disclosure of the sponsoring company or brand
• • Visual indicators that distinguish sponsored content from regular content
• • Transparency about the nature of the business relationship

Brand Partnership Policies

Our approach to sponsored content includes:

• • Partnerships only with brands and companies aligned with our values
• • Products or services that we believe genuinely benefit game developers
• • Maintaining editorial control over sponsored content quality and accuracy
• • Clear distinction between sponsored opinions and our independent views

Content Authenticity

Even in sponsored content, we commit to providing accurate, honest, and useful information. We will not make false or misleading claims about products or services, regardless of compensation. Our reputation and your trust are more valuable than any sponsorship arrangement.
