Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: December 2, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Quirkbit, we believe in maintaining honest and transparent relationships with our visitors and clients. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may use advertising, affiliate partnerships, and sponsored content on our website.
We are committed to full disclosure of any financial relationships or compensation we receive that could influence the content on this website. This disclosure is in accordance with FTC guidelines and Canadian advertising standards.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Affiliate Program Participation
We may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links or make purchases through our website. These affiliate relationships help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.
Important: Our participation in affiliate programs does not influence our editorial integrity or service recommendations. We only recommend products, services, or tools that we genuinely believe provide value to our audience.
Commission-Based Relationships
When we include links to third-party products, services, or platforms, these may be affiliate links. If you make a purchase or sign up through these links, we may receive:
- • A percentage commission on the purchase amount
- • A fixed referral fee for qualified actions
- • Credit toward services or tools we use in our business
These commissions come at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or visit the website directly.
Product Recommendations
When we recommend products, tools, or services related to game development, our recommendations are based on:
- Our direct experience using these products or services
- Research and evaluation of available options
- Feedback from industry peers and colleagues
- Relevance to game development workflows
- Value proposition and pricing considerations
We maintain editorial independence and do not allow affiliate relationships to dictate our recommendations. If we wouldn't use or recommend a product ourselves, we won't suggest it to you, regardless of potential compensation.
Financial Relationship Transparency
We believe transparency is fundamental to maintaining trust. Whenever we discuss products or services where we have an affiliate relationship or receive compensation, we clearly disclose this fact. You can expect honest assessments that highlight both benefits and limitations of any recommended solution.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotional material. All sponsored content will be clearly identified with prominent labels such as:
- → "Sponsored Post"
- → "Paid Partnership"
- → "Promotional Content"
- → "Advertisement" or "Ad"
Sponsored Post Guidelines
When we accept sponsored content, we maintain strict editorial standards:
- All sponsored content must be relevant to our audience
- We retain editorial control over content presentation
- Sponsored content must meet our quality standards
- We do not publish misleading or deceptive sponsored material
- Sponsors cannot dictate our editorial opinions or reviews
Brand Partnerships
We may form partnerships with brands, tools, or platforms in the game development industry. These partnerships allow us to provide enhanced content, exclusive insights, or special offers to our audience. All brand partnerships are disclosed, and we maintain independence in our assessments and recommendations.
Content Authenticity Guarantee
Whether content is organic or sponsored, we guarantee authenticity. Our opinions, experiences, and recommendations reflect our genuine perspective. We do not compromise our integrity for financial gain, and we only partner with brands and products that align with our values and standards.
