‘Balatro’<\/a> has come out of nowhere, but it has become the new big obsession in the online gaming world<\/strong>. Move aside, ‘Palworld’, your replacement has arrived. The poker game is extremely fun, yes, but also addictive. So much so, that overnight it has disappeared from the Switch e-shop in a good number of countries. And, although it may not seem like it, there is a more than logical reason for this.<\/p>\n\n\n

Bet for real<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This poker-themed roguelike deck builder (my father, by this point, would have stopped reading without understanding a single word) has been removed from the eShop<\/a> because the recommended age has been increased from 3 years and older to 18 years and older. The reason? Well, the one you’re imagining: they believe it encourages gambling<\/strong>, and the gambling issue has already destroyed many lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is only one problem: there is no betting or encouragement to do so. But Nintendo<\/a> has wanted to cover its back and the game disappeared from most of Europe, in Japan and in Australia, although it is still available in the United States. On PSN and Xbox, for now, it continues… but the PEGI rating has increased. And one thing is for your child to play a roguelike game designed for everyone and another thing is for them to play an adult game<\/strong>. It’s not a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
