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 Blaming EU laws, blaming storefronts, waiting for the future. Sitting on their hands I thought some good might come of this, this sucks

the idea that a game with cards is inherently gambling because other people use cards to gamble is just absolute bonkers to me. now...if they said it earned the 18+ because of space joker and wheel of fortune then who am I to disagree. I'll bet the house on the pony for every wheel of fortune I see

It's not the cards. There are a million Patience games that aren't rated 18. It's specifically the application of poker terminology. Though that still doesn't hold up because there are ACTUAL POKER GAMES that aren't rated 18. Lots of them.

I know. I'm just telling you what PEGI said.

Like to see them explain this:

LMAO I just checked their site, I need a full deep dive to explain literally everything on this page
