Game made by huge company: I sleep

Game made by one developer that can't fight back: Real shit

He does have Playstack as a publisher to help with these things. However, Playstack is a small publisher as far as I know

What this SHOULD do is reinforce that this is a bullshit rating system.

At this point it might just help Balatro. Kind of like a Streisand effect!

I had barely heard about the game before this happened but now I’m hearing about it everywhere! Might have to check it out!

A friend of mine told me about Balatro a while ago and I thought it sounded kinda interesting, but it was only after this controversy that I bought it to check it out. It's pretty fun, but also a bit frustrating when things just aren't going your way.

I feel you... But on the other hand, if things always went your way, it'd be boring
