Sponsorship Disclosure
Last updated 12 October 2026
GameDesignSchools.net is funded by advertising: sponsored school profiles, sponsored program placements, section sponsorships, guide sponsorships and display banners. Listings themselves are free, and every eligible program is listed whether or not its school advertises.
How paid placements look
- Every paid placement carries the label “Sponsored” or “Advertisement” and sits in its own section, apart from directory results and editorial selections.
- Outbound links in paid placements carry
rel="sponsored". - A sponsored program card appears only on pages whose results the program genuinely belongs to.
- Campaigns have fixed dates and stop automatically when they end.
What sponsorship can never buy
- Facts, classifications or verification status on any profile.
- Inclusion, order or description in our Top selections — the selection code does not read advertising data.
- The order of directory listings.
- Guide content: sponsors never write, edit or approve guides.
Current sponsors
Paid placements are shown only while a campaign is running. Each is labelled where it appears. We do not publish invented advertisers, testimonials or audience figures.
