minus-squareCosmoNova@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up96·3 days agoThey’re not looking into blatant gambling in AAA titles, of course they won’t take a closer look into an indie game. They’re completely useless.

minus-squareEarMaster@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 days agoIt can’t be that easy. PEGI says that games containing gambling (real money or not) are rated with PEGI 12 to 18. So there must be something else to the game that led to this rating.
