@nart_real: Balatro’s solo dev, LocalThunk, is taking a swipe at PEGI for rating his game 18+ under the reasoning that it could possibly teach you how to play poker. I guess now we’re rating games for what they might do? EA Sports FC 25 received a 3+ rating from PEGI, despite having actual loot boxes that you can gamble on to unlock players. Naturally, LocalThunk said that perhaps he should add loot boxes and gamebling to his game to bring it down to a 3+ rating like FC 25! I really hope the 18+ rating doesn’t stand because that would be absolutely ridiculous. We really need to fire the dusty old farts in charge of this stuff. #videogames #indiegames #ea #pcgaming #consolegaming

This reminds me of public schools banning all playing cards to “avoid gambling”

yeah no, the age rating is absolutely appropriate it's possibly other games that aren't

Card Game involving chance equal to any other card game, ergo gambling.

I mean, didn't Pokémon games have to remove their casino mini games for this very same thing? No real money has to be involved to get a higher rating, it's any virtual gambling.

the highest rating i think could be given is T for teen, like there's no physical gambling you don't get anything from it and the only stakes is losing your run

I feel like there wouldn't be a discussion if the game had the same mechanics but something other than regular cards.

solitaire needs 18+, it has cards and a chance that the match is unwinnable, its gambling if you are going to waste your time or not

The only thing Balatro gets you addicted to is Balatro. Which is fine since it's an addiction that'll cost you like 15 USD max ONCE

if they used uno cards instead, or animals, or anything else no one would have a problem. it's wild that playing cards have this reputation

I don't know I think it's poker so even if the money isn't real it's based on a gambling game. I think the football games need to be put up to 18 because of the loot box nonsense

Literally every single roguelike is gambling based on this since all of them have a lot of luck involved
