YouTube’s post is a reply to Balatro’s anonymous developer, LocalThunk, who shared the Balatro University video Monday afternoon. “Good thing we are protecting children from knowing what a 4 of a kind is and letting them watch [Counter-Strike] case opening videos instead,” LocalThunk said.

Balatro, a roguelike that borrows ideas from poker, doesn’t actually involve gambling. But the game received a PEGI 18 rating in Europe after it launched because it “contains prominent gambling imagery and material that instructs about gambling,” as quoted by publisher Playstack at the time. LocalThunk also expressed his displeasure with that rating.

However, in February, PEGI revised Balatro’s rating to PEGI 12 following an appeal and said it would “develop a more granular set of classification criteria to handle gambling themes and the simulation, teaching and glamorisation of gambling in different age categories.”
