BRUH LMAO WTF HAHAHHA. How the hell did BALATRO of all games get 18+?? Like it isn’t even a gambling game really besides maybe taking calculated risks like you do in almost all video games
But...! But...! It could teach children the different types of poker hands! Plus you have to win a certain number of chips in order to progress! This is clearly a type of gambling and should require the utmost care to prevent a child from becoming a gambling addict!!
/s (god I hope that's not needed)
By the way that's the actual reasoning why they gave it the 18+ rating.
This just in:
Kindergarten is rated 18+ because it teaches numbers, which are used to gamble...
Thats Just sad
