Regarding Ads/Sponsored Content

Forever Classic Games as a website will always remain clutter-free; there are no automated ads taking up space or pop-ups to distract people from the site itself. Well-crafted articles, podcasts, and videos are the focus of what we do and we respect our work and the people behind it.

We encourage any ad-related sales members to consider having spots on our podcasts, streams, or videos. Additionally, we offer paid sponsored content such as a company overview, interview, or informational piece about games and other media. These pieces leverage our skills in genre specificity, research, and finding the best qualities of any given media or product. We do not sell published reviews in any capacity but we will allow the purchase of a mock review (unpublished) that can be used for feedback purposes. Mock review writers cannot publish the final review. We also offer various services such as consulting, writing, and community strategy. Lastly, we do utilize sponsored links when we can but ensure that readers will know that connection and these links will not be intrusive to posts.

Sticking to these policies enables our readers to be confident that everything we do on our website is transparent and driven by decisions that put content first.

NOTE: We do not promote gambling, crypto, or Web 3 entities in any capacity.

Stream Ad/Sponsorship Packages

Currently, our biggest live streams are centered around competitive events, most of which take place in Minnesota. That said, we are open to traveling throughout the US in most instances. Most of our streams can last for several hours (3-5) and are meticulously produced with visuals, timing, and high-quality audio. We also archive our streams on YouTube for residual viewing. We do often offer savings to smaller studios or projects. Again, we love indies so ask us about potential savings!

  • Ad Reads with Logo, $50 USD per brand - Involves the on-air reading of messages or information. Also includes a logo that is visible during scene transitions.

  • Video Commercials, $100 per brand - We can utilize video commercial assets for breaks. Videos should be no longer than 2 minutes. Commercial breaks are expected to happen frequently, typically at least once per hour.

Giveaways

Giveaways and contests are a great way to connect readers with various pieces of media, products, and brands. We rarely ask for giveaway items or prizes but we do encourage connecting with us for promotions that are genuine or help us raise money for charity such as Extra Life.
