Commercial disclosure

Commercial relationships should never be a hidden ranking field.

GEN names who operates the site, who may receive a request, and which placements or links are compensated.

Relationship with Wizards

Wizards operates Gaming Elite Network and offers services that GEN readers may evaluate. Wizards receives a GEN request only when its services appear relevant. A house campaign or supplier profile identifies the relationship in visible text.

Supplier profiles

A company does not need to pay for a factual profile. Sponsored profiles and category placements are labeled visibly; compensated outbound links use rel="sponsored". Payment cannot remove the methodology or purchase an undisclosed ranking.

Introductions

GEN does not send a lead to a third party until separate user permission and an approved provider agreement exist. The agreement must define attribution, qualification, data roles, retention, follow-up, and termination.

Corrections and sponsor influence

Sponsors may not suppress accurate findings or control editorial conclusions. Every subject can submit a sourced correction through the same workflow.
