    Do you know what gambling imagery entails? It doesn’t have to be how antes actually are used in poker for it to be gambling imagery.

    A game just has to show characters gambling for it to be gambling imagery. It doesn’t even have to be anything more than a level in a casino.

      Okay. Well, Balatro doesn’t do that–no gambling of any kind happens in the game.

      So, what’s your point, exactly?

        The game is literally made up of gambling imagery. From cards to chips to terms, the whole fuckin 9 yards. MY POINT IS ITS NOT GAMBLING, ITS GAMBLING IMAGERY.

        I prefaced the whole fuckin statement I started with with saying it’s bullshit. DESPITE THAT BULLSHIT THE LABEL IS NOT INCORRECT. I hope you can stop being fucking obtuse and see my point after I’ve rephrased it multiple times.
