Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: December 27, 2025
At Mosaic, transparency is fundamental to our business practices. This Advertising Disclosure explains our advertising relationships, sponsored content policies, and how we maintain editorial integrity while potentially earning revenue through various partnerships.
We believe in honest communication about our business relationships and want you to understand when and how we may benefit financially from recommendations or partnerships mentioned on our website.
Compliance with Advertising Standards
This website complies with advertising disclosure requirements, including guidelines set forth by regulatory bodies for online advertising and endorsements. We are committed to:
- Clearly distinguishing between editorial content and advertising
- Disclosing material connections with brands or products we recommend
- Providing honest assessments based on our professional expertise
- Maintaining transparency about compensation received for referrals
- Ensuring all claims are truthful and substantiated
Affiliate Relationships
Mosaic may participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you purchase products or services through links on our website.
How Affiliate Programs Work
When we recommend tools, software, or services that we genuinely believe can benefit arcade game developers, we may include affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, we receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support our business and allows us to continue providing valuable content and services.
Our Recommendation Standards
We only recommend products, services, or tools that we have personally evaluated or that align with our professional standards. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our honest assessment. We prioritize your interests and will clearly indicate when affiliate links are present.
Types of Affiliate Partnerships
Our affiliate relationships may include software tools for game development, analytics platforms, market research services, professional development resources, and industry-specific equipment or services. We carefully select partnerships that provide genuine value to arcade game developers.
You are never obligated to use our affiliate links, and you can always purchase directly from the provider. Our recommendations remain the same regardless of whether affiliate compensation is involved.
Sponsored Content and Partnerships
From time to time, Mosaic may publish sponsored content or enter into brand partnerships within the arcade gaming industry.
Clear Labeling
All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or with similar transparent language. We ensure that readers can easily identify when content has been financially supported by a third party.
Editorial Independence
While we may receive compensation for sponsored content, we maintain editorial control. We only partner with brands and companies whose products or services we believe are relevant and valuable to the arcade game development community.
Authentic Opinions
Sponsored partnerships do not require us to provide positive reviews or endorsements. Our professional opinions and assessments remain honest and based on our expertise, even when working with paying partners.
We carefully select sponsorship opportunities that align with our values and the interests of arcade game developers. Sponsored content undergoes the same quality standards as our regular content.
