Product Recommendation Policy

When we recommend products or services, whether through affiliate links or otherwise, our recommendations are based on research, industry knowledge, and genuine assessment of value. We only promote solutions that we believe may be useful to our audience, regardless of commission potential.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We disclose affiliate relationships in accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines. Where appropriate, we identify affiliate links and sponsored content so you can make informed decisions about the information you receive.

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website. All sponsored content is clearly identified with appropriate labeling such as:

• • "Sponsored Post"
• • "Paid Partnership"
• • "Advertisement"
• • "Promotional Content"

Sponsored Post Labeling

When companies pay us to create content about their products or services, we ensure that this content is clearly marked as sponsored. This labeling appears prominently at the beginning of the content so readers immediately understand the nature of the relationship.

Brand Partnership Disclosures

We may enter into partnerships with brands, technology providers, or service companies in the cloud gaming and infrastructure space. These partnerships may involve various forms of compensation including direct payments, free access to services, or other benefits. All such relationships are disclosed when relevant to the content.

Content Authenticity

While we may receive compensation for sponsored content, we maintain editorial control and ensure that all information is accurate and valuable to our audience. Sponsored content undergoes the same quality review process as our regular content.
