Our Commitment to Transparency
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Program Participation
Dev Suite participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links and make purchases through those links. Affiliate programs we may participate in include:
- Software development tool providers and platforms
- Game development engine marketplaces
- Educational course platforms for developers
- Technical documentation and resource services
- Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers
Commission-Based Links
When we include affiliate links on our website, we may receive a commission if you make a purchase through that link. This commission comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains the same whether or not you use our affiliate link.
Important: We only recommend tools, services, and resources that we genuinely believe will benefit arcade game developers. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our honest assessments or recommendations.
Product Recommendations
Our product recommendations are based on:
- Personal experience with the products and services
- Research into product features, capabilities, and user reviews
- Relevance to arcade game development workflows
- Quality standards we maintain for all recommendations
- Feedback from our professional network and users
While we may earn commissions from affiliate links, we never recommend products solely for financial gain. Our reputation and your trust are more valuable than any affiliate commission.
Financial Relationship Transparency
When we have a financial relationship with a product or service we mention, we make reasonable efforts to disclose that relationship clearly. This may include affiliate links, partnerships, sponsorships, or other arrangements where we receive compensation.
Sponsored Content
Paid Promotions
Dev Suite may occasionally publish sponsored content or paid promotions from third parties. When we do:
- We clearly label all sponsored content with disclosure statements
- Sponsors do not dictate our editorial opinions or assessments
- We maintain editorial independence in all sponsored content
- We only accept sponsorships from relevant, reputable companies
- Sponsored content is clearly distinguishable from regular content
Sponsored Post Labeling
All sponsored posts, articles, or content will be clearly marked with labels such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar clear indicators at the beginning of the content. This ensures you can immediately identify content that involves a paid relationship.
Brand Partnerships
We may enter into partnerships with brands and companies in the development tools industry. These partnerships may involve:
- Compensation for featuring or reviewing products
- Provision of free products or services for evaluation
- Joint content creation or educational initiatives
- Event sponsorships or collaborative projects
All such partnerships are disclosed appropriately, and our editorial opinions remain independent.
Content Authenticity
Our Guarantee: Even when content is sponsored, we maintain full editorial control. Sponsors cannot dictate what we say about their products or services. If we accept sponsorship, it means we believe the product or service has genuine value for arcade game developers.
We reserve the right to decline sponsorships or partnerships that do not align with our values or that we believe would not benefit our audience.
Third-Party Advertising
Display Advertising Networks
We may use third-party advertising networks to display advertisements on our website. These networks may include:
- Google AdSense or Google Ad Manager
- Other reputable advertising platforms relevant to developers
- Direct advertising relationships with technology companies
These advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant advertisements based on your browsing behavior.
Behavioral Targeting
Third-party advertisers may use information about your visits to our website and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you. This practice is called behavioral targeting or interest-based advertising.
You can opt out of behavioral advertising by adjusting your cookie preferences on our Cookie Policy page or through your browser settings.
Cookie Usage for Advertising
Advertising partners may use cookies to:
- Track advertisement performance and engagement
- Deliver relevant advertisements based on your interests
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
- Prevent showing you the same advertisements repeatedly
- Understand user demographics and preferences
For detailed information about our cookie practices, please review our Cookie Policy.
Ad Personalization Practices
Personalized advertising helps ensure that the advertisements you see are relevant to your interests. We work with advertising partners who use data about your online activities to deliver personalized advertisements. You have control over these personalization practices through our cookie management tools.
Your Rights and Controls

Data Collection for Advertising
Information collected for advertising purposes may include your browsing behavior, device information, IP address, and interaction with advertisements. This data is used to improve ad targeting and measure campaign effectiveness. You can control data collection through your cookie preferences.
Privacy Regulation Rights
Under various privacy regulations (such as GDPR, CCPA), you may have additional rights regarding data used for advertising, including the right to access, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information. Contact us to exercise these rights.
Editorial Independence
While we may earn revenue through advertising and affiliate relationships, our editorial content remains independent. Our recommendations, reviews, and assessments are based on merit, not on financial relationships.
We maintain a clear separation between advertising and editorial content. Our content decisions are made to serve our audience's interests, not to satisfy advertisers.
If you ever feel that our advertising relationships have compromised our editorial integrity, we want to hear from you. Your feedback helps us maintain the trust and transparency we value.

Dev Suite complies with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials. We make good faith efforts to:
- Clearly disclose material connections with advertisers and partners
- Provide honest and accurate representations of products and services
- Ensure that sponsored content is clearly identified
- Base claims on truthful and substantiated information
