Affiliate & Editorial Disclosure

The short version

Some links on this site earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you. Our editorial opinions are never for sale. We only recommend games and products we would genuinely use.

Amazon Associates

Online Games is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Our Associate tag is gpat886569-20.

When you click an Amazon link on this site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had navigated to Amazon directly.

Gumroad digital products

We sell original digital guides and shortlist PDFs through our Gumroad storefront. These are products we created ourselves. There is no third-party affiliate arrangement — we receive the full sale price minus Gumroad's processing fee.

Other affiliate programs

From time to time we may participate in other affiliate programs. Any page containing affiliate links will include a visible disclosure notice near the top of the content. If you have a question about a specific link, contact us.

Editorial independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence which games we cover, how we rank them, or what we write. Senior Games Editor Bramwell Faucher makes all editorial decisions independently. No game developer, publisher, or platform operator has paid for placement in our genre lists or guide recommendations.

If we receive a review code or early access from a developer, we will note this at the top of the relevant piece. Receipt of a free copy does not guarantee coverage and does not affect our assessment.

Advertising

This site may display third-party display advertising. Advertisements are clearly separated from editorial content and labeled as "Advertisement" or similar. Advertisers have no influence over editorial decisions.
