"Luck be a Landlord is a roguelike deckbuilder about using a slot machine to earn rent money and defeat capitalism. This game does not contain any real-world currency gambling or microtransactions."
For those curious about the game. Game details from Metacritic.
So it's literally a slot machine simulator...
And the guy who made it doesn't understand why it's being taken down for gambling?
Anybody who has played the game will know how much of a dumbass take this is. It's no more a "slot machine simulator" than Doom is a "military training simulator".
DOOM was actually used for military training, though.
