I'm happy to lobby for the balatro dev once he posts on a federated media (real fed, not bluesky).

Personally, I don't care if balatro is popular here, the pegi 18 rating will impact sales 0%. Also, FC24s gambling should be banned EU wide or the rating of the game should be upped to 18+. Better yet, we should use this Balatro slip up from PEGI to get FC24s rating to be revised to 18+

I don't doubt that some weird ultra religious family will ban Balatro in their house because of that.

Why should we care what a talking horse pseudo-plinco game thinks should be the age rating of their competitors?

Wut? Pan European Game Information (PEGI) is the European equivalent of ESRB. Their ratings matter because they have an obvious bias against indies, which hurts their sales.

Wait, wasn't this already an issue a while back and wasn't that resolved?
