Affiliate transparency

How GameMatch is funded and why our price rankings never depend on commissions.

How GameMatch is funded

GameMatch is free and is partly funded by affiliate links. If you buy through some links, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Price rankings never depend on these commissions. We do not sell personal data.

Price ranking rule

Ranked by known total price (price + known fees), converted to your currency with a dated rate. Offers not recently checked come after checked offers. Affiliate commission is never taken into account.

  • Only offers for the same product (same game, edition and platform) are compared. A DLC is never compared with the full game.
  • Non-affiliate offers are shown on the same footing as affiliate offers, with the same button.
  • Commission and affiliate status are never used to sort, weight or highlight an offer.
  • Outdated or unavailable offers are hidden by default; their number is always shown.

What the badges mean

Affiliate
The link to the store or partner is an affiliate link.
Recently checked
Price recently checked with the source.
To be rechecked
Price checked a while ago: it may have changed.
Outdated — may have changed
Price too old to be reliable; never selected as the best price.
Unavailable
The offer is no longer available according to the last check.
DEMO — fictional demo data
Fictitious demo data (GameMatch normally shows real data only).

Data sources

  • Each game page shows the attribution required by the source of its information.
  • Each offer states its source, collection date and last check date.
  • Each release date states its source and confirmation level (official, announced window, estimate, unknown).
  • Converted prices state the rate used, its date and its source. Without an available rate, no converted price is shown.

Data collected on clicks

Clicks to stores and partners go through an internal redirect that only counts aggregated totals. No advertising cookie, personal identifier or third-party tracking script is used.
