    As someone who never planned on playing Balatro, and was kind of getting tired of seeing it on my feed the way I got tired of helldivers 2 stuff right after release.

    I would happily toss a tenner to the dev for a lawyer over this.

      It’s a really good game. As a mobile game, it’s honestly up there with Stardew Valley. They are the only two mobile games I know of that check all the boxes. They are actually good games, there are no ads or micro transactions, and they’re infinitely playable.

          I was just about to mention Slice and Dice. The new patch had been great for balance!

        I would probably never play on PC. Was considering getting the mobile port but my phone doesn’t support it apparently…
