MODERATORS
My issue with the ruling wasn't the ruling itself, cause I can understand the argument. It was the non-equal enforcement of it. Games with actual gambling in it were rated lower than a game with the similar aspects but no actual monetary aspects. That's ridiculous. If you want to make poker 18+, then just do it across the board instead of picking and choosing your ratings.
