Rogue-Like Game Balatro Temporarily Pulled From Sale Over Surprise 18+ Rating
- Rogue-like poker game Balatro pulled from sale in some countries due to unexpected 18+ rating
- Publisher Playstack blames ratings change on unspecified board's "mistaken belief" the game promotes gambling
- Playstack believes the rating is "unfounded" as Balatro does not allow or encourage gambling
- Publisher had previously successfully appealed initial 18+ rating to get 3+ rating
- Playstack assures Balatro will return to sale after resolving "unwarranted" rating issue, though possibly with 18+ rating
