Agent KaryoPlayer Spends $32,000 on NBA 2K25 in Just Five Months
Mark with a ZWhat’s worse is that despite him spending $32,000, he’s still not obtained all of the best cards in the game.
This is ok, but balatro is gambling.
NBA 2K26 also releases on Setpember 5, 2025, which will make all of his purchases pretty useless if he was to move on to the next game.

I think that's a bit farfetched. I don't think any AAA dinosaur feels threatened by Balatro, and if we talk specifically about sports games Balatro is not a threat because that genre has formed its own thick bubble that Balatro could never penetrate.
The more obvious reason is probably true, lawmakers are simply too stupid to tell the difference between using gambling motiffs and actual gambling.
Or more likely, some Karen somewhere saw face cards and complained, and lawmakers/regulators didn’t bother doing any actual research.
