Balatro dev: Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating - eviltoast

    I recently played it. If anything I think it has a subtle anti-gambling message.

    The more hands you play, the more you realize you can’t actually win without “cheating”

    Play it like poker? Congrats, you’re fucked, you literally cannot win against the blind.

    Stack the deck in your favor with creative use of Joker cards and a few dozen extra aces? The game becomes trivial

    If the game teaches you anything it’s that if you play by the rules, the house will ALWAYS win.
