Last updated: November 15, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Global Game, we believe in maintaining transparent relationships with our users and partners. This Advertising Disclosure outlines how we may earn revenue through various advertising and affiliate relationships, ensuring you understand any financial arrangements that might influence the content we present.
In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and other applicable regulations, we are committed to disclosing any material connections between our website and the products, services, or brands we discuss or recommend. This disclosure applies to all content on our website, including but not limited to blog posts, reviews, recommendations, and promotional materials.
Important Note: This disclosure is designed to inform you about potential financial relationships that could affect how we present information. Your trust is important to us, and we maintain editorial independence in all our content.
Affiliate Relationships
What Are Affiliate Programs?
Affiliate programs are arrangements where we may receive compensation when you click on certain links on our website or make purchases through those links. This is a common business practice that helps support our website operations while providing you with valuable information about products and services relevant to arcade game localization.
When we participate in affiliate programs, we only recommend products, services, or tools that we believe offer genuine value to our audience. Our participation in these programs does not influence our editorial content or compromise our commitment to providing honest, helpful information.
How Affiliate Commissions Work
Commission-Based Links
We may include special tracking links within our content. When you click these links and make a purchase or take a specific action, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains the same whether you use our link or go directly to the provider.
Product Recommendations
When we recommend software, tools, or services for arcade game development or localization, these recommendations are based on our professional assessment and industry experience. Any affiliate relationship is secondary to the quality and relevance of the recommendation.
Financial Transparency
We clearly identify affiliate links where appropriate and maintain transparency about our financial relationships. This helps you make informed decisions while understanding how we support our operations.
Our Affiliate Policy
- Honest Assessments: We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe will benefit our audience
- Editorial Independence: Our content decisions are not influenced by potential affiliate earnings
- Clear Disclosure: We prominently disclose affiliate relationships when relevant
- No Additional Cost: Using our affiliate links never increases the price you pay
