PEGI amends classifications of 'Balatro' and 'Luck be a Landlord' to PEGI 12

>On the basis of these appeals, the PEGI Experts Group will develop a more granular set of classification criteria to handle gambling themes and the simulation, teaching and glamorisation of gambling in different age categories

Okay! Now make paid lootboxes an 18+ feature.

It's still wild* to me that implementing real-money games of chance in video games warrants lower PEGI ratings than "glamorizing" the concept of fictional-money games of chance.

* PEGI is industry self-regulation, so it makes perfect sense and is not wild at all, it just feels like it in any kind of removed context

Good reversal. Balatro did not deserve a PEGI 18. There's more gambling in FIFA.

That PEGI 18 rating likely boosted Balatro's sales.
