"Luck be a Landlord is a roguelike deckbuilder about using a slot machine to earn rent money and defeat capitalism. This game does not contain any real-world currency gambling or microtransactions."
For those curious about the game. Game details from Metacritic.
So it's literally a slot machine simulator...
And the guy who made it doesn't understand why it's being taken down for gambling?
So you think an FPS should be taken down for murder?
Similar to some countries banning games that depict skulls or blood, these countries have banned games that depict gambling. This is different from banning games that contain loot boxes or actual gambling.
