It's clear that PEGI don't understand the industry at all.

I didn't realize they pegged Balatro at PEGI 18. Definitely ridiculous. Kids play poker all the time without gambling. It's a card game. I don't think there is a less objectionable game out there.

Agreed that it's ridiculous, but there are plenty of other games out there that are less objectionable, like ones that are played almost exclusively by kids.

The only apolitical game is Tetris.

... not counting the story of developing and distributing Tetris.

Candyland?

Okay but that's not a game, it's an existential crisis.
