Wait, wasn't this already an issue a while back and wasn't that resolved?
It was banned by a few countries for looking like a gambling game which was a separate thing, now it's just rated as an adult game by PEGI.
Right - I was thinking of the brief store pull.
But I thought that got resolved with the game getting the 18+ PEGI rating back in March already?

Or was it like a provisional rating?
