Oh, Balatro, you beautiful beast. Wrongly maligned as a gambling game and temporarily pulled from the PS Store after its PEGI rating was inexplicably raised to 18, creator Localthunk, who really isn’t a fan of gambling in the first place, has officially won an appeal. The fiendishly addictive poker-like has had its rating reconsidered, being awarded a far more appropriate 12 after more than a year of trying.

The Pan European Game Information firm’s website announced that not only have Localthunk and common sense prevailed in the end (thanks, Eurogamer), but the ordeal has resulted in systemic change for future games: “The PEGI 18 rating for the game Balatro has been changed to a PEGI 12 following a successful appeal submitted by publisher Sold Out Sales & Marketing. The Complaints Board concluded that, although the game explains the various hands of poker, the roguelike deck-building game contained mitigating fantastical elements that warranted a PEGI 12 rating.”

It must be a satisfying end to the situation, although we imagine it cost the developer more than a few sales; here’s hoping all the positive buzz around Balatro has made up for that particular misunderstanding: “Based on 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.”
