Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: December 10, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Flickerbit, we believe in maintaining honest and transparent relationships with our clients and website visitors. This Advertising Disclosure explains our advertising practices, affiliate relationships, and any financial arrangements that may influence the content on our website.
We are committed to providing clear information about when and how we receive compensation for recommendations, endorsements, or advertising.
Affiliate Relationships
Participation in Affiliate Programs
Flickerbit participates in select affiliate marketing programs. This means we may receive a commission when you click on certain links and make a purchase. These affiliate relationships help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.
How Affiliate Commissions Work
When you click an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or visit the website directly.
Examples of affiliate relationships may include software tools, development resources, or game-related products that we genuinely use and recommend.
Product Recommendation Policy
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our recommendations or professional opinions. We only recommend products, services, and tools that we:
- Have personally tested or used in our work
- Believe offer genuine value to arcade game developers
- Would recommend regardless of any affiliate relationship
- Think align with our values of quality and transparency
Financial Relationship Transparency
We disclose our affiliate relationships in accordance with advertising guidelines and regulations. When we recommend a product or service where we have an affiliate relationship, we clearly indicate this connection so you can make informed decisions.
Sponsored Content
Identification of Paid Content
Any content that has been sponsored or paid for by third parties will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or similar terminology. We want you to easily distinguish between editorial content and sponsored material.
Sponsored Posts
Sponsored posts are articles or content created in partnership with brands or companies who compensate us for featuring their products or services. These are always clearly marked.
Brand Partnerships
We occasionally partner with brands that align with our values in arcade game development. These partnerships are disclosed in the relevant content.
Content Authenticity Guarantee
Even when content is sponsored, we maintain editorial independence. Our sponsored content:
- Reflects our honest opinions and professional expertise
- Meets the same quality standards as non-sponsored content
- Includes only products and services we genuinely believe in
- Is clearly distinguished from non-sponsored material

Editorial Independence
While we may earn income through affiliate relationships and advertising, our editorial decisions remain independent. Our recommendations are based on genuine experience and professional judgment, not on potential compensation.
