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 (x.com)

Sounds like grounds for a defamation suit to me considering his stated opinions on gambling.

In the meantime we can start guessing which side has more money to hire lawyers

As someone who never planned on playing Balatro, and was kind of getting tired of seeing it on my feed the way I got tired of helldivers 2 stuff right after release.

I would happily toss a tenner to the dev for a lawyer over this.

It's a really good game. As a mobile game, it's honestly up there with Stardew Valley. They are the only two mobile games I know of that check all the boxes. They are actually good games, there are no ads or micro transactions, and they're infinitely playable.

Slay the spire, slice and dice, dicey dungeons are also up there as mobile games.

I was just about to mention Slice and Dice. The new patch had been great for balance!

I want to just add my list of digital boardgames here lol excellent, real games. no ad farms, no crap.

Pay a couple dollars and download a rules PDF for the boardgame and away you go. Some of these are big games that it would be worth playing on PC or watching videos about first.

I own:

  • Star realms
  • Mystic vale
  • Dominion
  • Terraforming Mars
  • Wingspan
  • 7 wonders duel
  • Cartographers
  • Ticket to ride
  • Catan

Good game but Haven't played digitally; on wishlist:

  • Dune imperium
  • Scythe
  • Istanbul
  • Castles of Burgundy
  • 1 deck dungeon
  • Roll for the galaxy
  • Concordia
  • Charterstone
  • Stone age
  • Railroad ink
  • Lords of water deep
  • Maricaibo

I would probably never play on PC. Was considering getting the mobile port but my phone doesn't support it apparently...

Don't buy it. It's too addictive
