I put this in the other post too. This is literally their description on steam.
Combined with playing actual poker hands, yeah that's going to get tagged for gambling. They knew what they were doing and this performative outrage is a viral marketing campaign.
I suppose playing cards in Europe are considered "gambling materials" under that logic and aren't allowed to be sold to people under 18? That would be absurd.
I would if they were selling them with chips and instructions on betting.
But Balatro doesn't do that, so how is this a valid addition to the analogy?
There is zero betting in Balatro.
I think it's becoming more and more clear that this user is a troll.
nah, they're just THAT dense and have no idea what they're talking about...not a troll, just too dumb to realize they're being dumb...
Either way they're eroding their credibility very very quickly.
Edit: He literally made a comment claiming he's going to make a game about a porn studio. I don't think we can say he isn't a troll at this point.
yeah, saw that comment later...seems like a troll...
That wasn't the question posed. As has been said over and over Balatro is more than just "evil cards"
