I've made the difficult decision to cancel my GDC 2025 plans. Due to family health concerns, I'd rather be at home now than add even more stress. I'll be at GDC 2026 w/ our game ready to be shown, and hopefully will even be presenting a hybrid tabletop games panel.

I've had parts of this written down for a while - but I thought it was about time to document the detailed version of what happened during Balatro development localthunk.com/blog/balatro...

On my bad days I unironically wish I did not study political science On my worst days I unironically wish I was stupid and could live out this hellscape in ignorant bliss I’m angry and tired but not exhausted. And I do not submit. Solidarity out there, my friends.

Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating Blaming EU laws, blaming storefronts, waiting for the future. Sitting on their hands I thought some good might come of this, this sucks
