How we make money

Short version: some links on this site are affiliate links, and any sponsored or partnered content is labeled as such, on the piece, where you can actually see it.

Affiliate links. When you buy something through certain links on this site - a game, a piece of hardware, an accessory - we may earn a commission from the retailer. It costs you nothing extra; the price is the same as if you'd typed the URL in yourself. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Any page carrying an affiliate link says so on that page itself, not buried in small type at the bottom.

Sponsored and partnered content. If a company pays for a placement or a partnership, it's labeled as sponsored or partnered everywhere it appears. It does not change how we write about a product, and it does not buy a better review or a higher ranking - see our editorial policy for exactly what a review copy or a hardware unit can and can't buy.

If you ever think that line isn't being held, use the contact form and tell us.
