Oh, I 100% agree. Policies like this should be based on actual science, and things like MTX (i.e. actual gambling) cause way more harm than learning poker hands (i.e. gambling-adjacent). I'm totally fine w/ my kids playing Balatro, I'm not fine w/ my kids playing Fortnite (PEGI 3-12, depending on mode), and that's based on facts instead of whatever the PEGI system is based on (feels?).
