The meme isnt wrong.

If Balatro changed all the card suits to something else, the idiots at the rating board would absolutely lower the age requirement.

Maybe they can make a Balatro Kidz version and make bazillions

Gee I wonder what rating this game has

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

21+ for hallucinogenic mushrooms

Grandfathered in under old ratings. If they rerelease it they would replace it with a minigame about killing healthcare CEOs or something.

If you play Pokemon Let's Go, the Team Rocket casino was raided by the police and closed (or something, I don't remember the exact excuse for why you cannot get in).

Seriously? I haven't played Let's Go but that's cancer.

I know you're joking but just in case:

  • ESRB E for Everyone
  • PEGI 3
  • USK 0
  • CERO A for All ages

18+

Now, if it had some wholesome, family-friendly lootboxes in it...

I see Luigi, I vote it up.

God, tag that NSFW already, there are kids in this community

The biggest irony here is that Nintendo started as a playing card making company.
