In a divine act of people-pleasing that resonates with me to an uncomfortable degree, Balatro creator LocalThunk has revealed the game was only meant to release with 120 jokers but a publisher flub had him adding an extra 30 instead of, you know, correct anybody.
As spotted by TheGamer, LocalThunk dropped the fun little lore nugget on Twitter, writing: "I once told Playstack (my publisher) that the full version of Balatro would have 120 Jokers. In a meeting later that week they mentioned something about '150 Jokers' and instead of correcting them I just made 30 more Jokers lmao".
