The game in question is rated E for Everyone (following the Random Card link from the parent comment https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Doca.RandomCardRPG https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Doca.Rando...) - I don't know if the two specific games in question are mechanical copies, but the most successful gacha games are specifically marketed as kid-friendly so target audience is definitely not the issue.
- cratermoon 2y agoAs I said, no points to Google for consistency. What about the rest my points?
- pinkmuffinere 2y agoThe legal theory you’ve proposed doesn’t match the facts. My understanding of your theory: 1. US law doesn’t say adult gambling is illegal 2 US law does make it illegal to give gambling mechanics to minors Since random card is only for adults, it’s legal. Since balatro gives gambling mechanics to minors, it’s illegal. But Random Card _isn’t_ only for adults! It’s E for everyone (ie no age restriction!) By your own reasoning, random card should have been banned. This isn’t an issue of consistency anymore, since according to your theory this should be illegal. I think either your theory of how the law applies here is incorrect, or Google seems to be breaking the law by allowing random card to persist.
