    Hngh. Balatro already had a bunch of hassle on Switch eShop due to the PEGI ratings change.

    Earlier, Nintendo somehow got a PEGI 12 rating for 51 Worldwide Games, which includes poker and blackjack. I wonder what they argued to avoid the 18 rating. “Sure, this compilation has poker and blackjack, but it’s not like we made it fun.” (It’s adequate but compared to Balatro it’s very much a non-frills experience.)

      I believe 51 Games came out right before the stricter PEGI policy. Same year at least. The whole thing is very silly.

      “sure our game has gambling elements, but we’re Nintendo so shut the fuck up and give us a better rating because you’re a private company in the business of giving ratings”
