since people are talkinmg about balatro here, is it possible to buy it somewhere other than steam if i don’t want to support the child gambling company?

Valve enables cs2 gambling through loot boxes. Many children are introduced to gambling this way

Ah I wasn’t aware but not surprised. Not sure why you’re getting down voted for sharing information. Ahh ~~reddit ~~ lemmy

My best guess is people took “child gambling” to mean the game itself 🤷♀️

Volvo and the cs2 loot boxes incl. their weird workarounds like the X-ray scanner so they can enable child gambling in countries like France that have made it illegal. like they really love child gambling it’s fucking weird

Is there anyone who sells games that aren’t bad in some way? You don’t become successful in capitalism by being altruistic. Any company successful enough to run a market probably has some skeletons in their closet.

Not on gog or itch sadly. The official balatro website only links to Steam. So it’s either Steam or get it on a console :/

yeah I thought about that but apple and google are each bad in their own ways. maybe i’ll mail a tenner to the dev studio and just pirate it
