Affiliate Disclosure

CRIMENET believes in transparency.

Some articles on this website may contain affiliate links. If you choose to purchase a product through one of these links, CRIMENET may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

These commissions help support the continued operation of the website and allow us to keep producing independent gaming journalism.

​

​

Editorial Independence

Affiliate partnerships never influence our editorial decisions.

We do not recommend games, products, or services because they generate commissions.

We recommend them because we genuinely believe they are worth your time.

If a game is disappointing, we'll say so.

If a game deserves praise, we'll say that too.

Our opinions cannot be bought.

​

​

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, the retailer may pay CRIMENET a small commission.

The price you pay does not increase.

Affiliate commissions are paid by the retailer, not by you.

​

​

Where You May See Affiliate Links

Affiliate links may appear in content where readers are already considering a purchase, including:

• Game reviews

• Quick Verdicts

• Buying guides

• Best Games lists

• Comparison articles

• Hardware recommendations where relevant

​

We intentionally avoid placing affiliate links where they don't serve the reader.

Our goal is to help you make informed decisions, not to turn every article into a sales pitch.

​

​

Retailers

CRIMENET may partner with reputable digital game retailers and other trusted gaming businesses.

Partnerships may change over time as we evaluate which services provide the best experience for our readers.

​

​

Sponsored Content

Affiliate links are not the same as sponsored content.

If CRIMENET ever publishes sponsored content or enters into a commercial partnership, it will be clearly identified.

Sponsored relationships never guarantee positive coverage or influence editorial opinions.

​

​

Our Promise

Every recommendation published on CRIMENET follows the same principle:

Readers come first.

Trust is considerably harder to earn than affiliate commission.

​

We're far more interested in building a publication people return to than squeezing a few extra clicks out of an article.

​

If we ever have to choose between the two, trust wins.

Every time.​
