360 summary
  • PEGI aims to create more detailed classification criteria to address games featuring gambling imagery that may not necessarily warrant an 18+ rating.
  • The reclassification of Balatro from 18+ to 12+ demonstrates PEGI's willingness to introduce nuance to their rating system, allowing for a more varied approach to game classification.
  • Playstack's positive response to the reclassification highlights the importance of evolving classification boards to align with changing cultural norms and ensure transparency regarding game content.

  • The automatic PEGI 18 rating for games with gambling mechanics has limited the audience reach for certain games, such as Luck Be a Landlord, due to perceived gambling elements.
  • PEGI's decision to revise Balatro's rating from 18 to 12 has prompted a reevaluation of classification criteria for games featuring gambling themes, aiming to provide more nuanced age categories.
  • The potential reluctance of game developers, like Nintendo with the Pokemon series, to include gambling elements may be influenced by the strict PEGI ratings system, as seen in the avoidance of reintroducing the Game Center to avoid a PEGI 18 rating.
