Disclosures

Financial disclosures, affiliate relationships, and potential conflicts of interest.

Transparency is central to our editorial mission. This page discloses any financial relationships, potential conflicts of interest, or material connections that could influence our coverage.

Current disclosures

As of July 2026, Steam Hardware Hub has:

  • No affiliate marketing relationships
  • No sponsored content agreements
  • No advertising partnerships
  • No financial ties to Valve Corporation
  • No financial ties to hardware manufacturers
  • No equity or investment relationships with companies we cover

Revenue model

Steam Hardware Hub is currently an independent editorial project. We do not monetize through advertising, affiliate links, or sponsored content.

The site may use privacy-light aggregate analytics when the production analytics environment is configured. Analytics do not control editorial placement, confidence labels, review verdicts, tracker estimates, or source labels.

Artwork sourcing

Steam Hardware Hub no longer uses AI-generated imagery for article cover, hero, thumbnail, or social artwork. Article artwork should come from original non-generative editorial graphics, licensed or user-provided assets, screenshots, or source photos with visible source context.

Artwork must not fabricate test results, UI states, product details, packaging, availability, or official imagery. Editorial claims, review verdicts, compatibility notes, and hardware guidance are based on the source trails and reporting standards described in our methodology and editorial policy.

Personal ownership

Editorial staff may personally own Steam hardware (Steam Deck, Steam Controller, etc.) purchased at retail. Personal ownership of consumer products does not constitute a conflict of interest for editorial coverage.

Future changes

If our business model or financial relationships change, this page will be updated. Material changes will also be reflected in the relevant policy or article pages.
