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)

Its not about real money spending. Loot boxes would be problematic without spending real money in my opinion. Thats why I think poker games that dont use any real money should also be marked for adults.

Unfortunately balatro uses poker as a base, and I dont think its changed it enough that it still doesnt resemble poker.

Im surprised the loot boxes in ea games are still around, did the rating organization comment on that at all?
