Rejection Tier I
Predatory Mechanics
We flatly reject games or services utilizing deceptive loot boxes, pay-to-win architectures, or "dark pattern" UX designed to exploit players.
Quality is our
Standard.
We believe advertising should enhance, not disrupt the reader's experience. Our platform is built on transparency, curation, and an unwavering commitment to integrity.
Why We Accept Ads
Independent journalism requires independent funding. By accepting advertisements, we sustain a team of dedicated writers, critics, and developers who champion the indie gaming ecosystem. Our mission is to keep our content free and accessible to all, fueled by partners who share our passion for innovation.
Ethical Commitment
Standards
- 01
Partners must demonstrate a track record of fair play and community respect.
- 02
Creatives must meet our high-fidelity aesthetic requirements to ensure UI harmony.
- 03
Zero tolerance for intrusive tracking or malicious script injection.
Rejection Tier II
Misleading Creatives
If your advertisement does not reflect the actual gameplay or service offered, it has no place here. We verify all creative assets against product performance.
Rejection Tier III
Data Harvesters
Any advertiser found to be selling reader data to third-party brokers without explicit, granular consent will be permanently banned.
