About Innovate Hub

Innovate Hub publishes checklists and worked examples for people in Australia trying a battle collection RPG on a desktop computer. It is funded by advertising for one game, it says so on every page where that game appears, and it collects nothing from anyone.

Who publishes this site

Innovate Hub (innovatehub.online) is published by:

ITmatters s.r.o. is a company registered in the Czech Republic and is accountable for everything published here. No individual author is named on any page and none is implied: pages are written and reviewed by the publisher, not attributed to a persona. Where a page refers to the position of this site, it means the position of ITmatters s.r.o..

Why the site takes this form

Writing about this genre divides into two kinds, and neither is much use to someone deciding whether to install something. There are reviews, which compress a personal set of trade-offs into a score, and there are guides written for players already deep into a specific title. The questions an ordinary reader has — how much will this cost, how much time does it want, is it suitable for the computer my child uses — go largely unanswered.

So every page here is a checklist or a worked example rather than an opinion. The cost page shows the arithmetic for converting a shop into AUD and leaves the reader to run it. The time page supplies a stopwatch method and a worksheet. The family page points at the national classification database rather than repeating a rating. The intended result is a site that produces an answer specific to the reader instead of an average.

How coverage is decided

The method, including the commercial part

The scope is narrow and it is narrow for a commercial reason. One game, Raid: Shadow Legends, is named across this site because ITmatters s.r.o. takes part in its affiliate programme. Innovate Hub does not survey the genre, does not rank titles and does not claim to cover the market. A named title here means a paid relationship exists, disclosed wherever it appears.

What decides the pages. Subjects are chosen because a reader in Australia would plausibly search for them and because they can be written from sources that can be named. The order is task order — install, first session, cost, time, household, account — not commercial order. No advertiser commissioned, reviewed or approved any page, and none sees one before publication.

What is never published. No scores, no ratings, no tier lists, no player counts, no download figures and no revenue estimates. Numbers of that kind circulate constantly in this genre and are rarely traceable to anyone who could know them. Where a page states a figure, it is either a worked example explicitly marked as invented for demonstration, or it is linked to the body that published it.

What is never on the site. No reviews, no player quotes, no testimonials, no awards, no badges and no invented statistics. If a claim cannot be linked to a source, it is written as general guidance or left out.

Corrections. Errors are fixed on the page and the review date is updated. Anyone who finds one is welcome to write to info@innovatehub.online.

How the site is funded

Advertising for one game is the only revenue. The affiliate programme for Raid: Shadow Legends pays ITmatters s.r.o. a fixed fee when a reader who followed a link from here registers on the advertiser’s page, installs the game and starts the tutorial. The fee comes from the advertiser. Readers are charged nothing, and no purchase is required for the fee to be earned.

There is no display advertising, no sponsored page, no paid placement and nothing sold to readers. The affiliate disclosure sets out what the arrangement influences and the several things it does not, including the pages about spending and about children, which say what they would say if the advertising were removed.

What this site does not collect

Innovate Hub has no form, no newsletter, no account, no quiz and no chat widget. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, carries no advertising tags and loads no third-party scripts. Typefaces are the ones already on the reader’s device, so the site makes no external request at all. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to. The cookie policy and the privacy policy describe this in full, including the ordinary server logs kept by the hosting provider.

Independence, stated accurately

Innovate Hub is not the official site of any game, not a review publication and not a news outlet. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any publisher mentioned on it, beyond the affiliate arrangement disclosed above — which is a payment arrangement and not an endorsement running in either direction.

It is also not connected to any Australian public body. The Australian Classification Board, the eSafety Commissioner, Scamwatch, the ACCC and the Australian Cyber Security Centre are linked because their material is authoritative, free and current. None of them endorses this site or the game advertised on it.
