One of the most head-scratch-inducing videogame ratings of all time has finally been changed, as game rating organization Pan European Game Information—PEGI for short—has decided that the indie card game sensation Balatro is not an 18+ game after all.
"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 and Marketing," the PEGI website now says (via Eurogamer). "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."
