They used Balatro name.
yeah i dunno what they expected
Was it going to be paid or free?
Quote from an earlier version of the itch page:
Balatro for the C64 is planned to be an official release, including a physical version by PleasureBytes Games. I have already contacted the original developer (Localthunk) and publisher (Playstack).
They released a free live web browser demo on the itch page. Since there was a physical release planned and that usually involves production/distribution cost maybe they thought they could strike a deal with LocalThunk for for a slice of the pie and sell it for 5$ published through playstack? I don't know their wording was ambiguous and they may not have fully understood how copyright laws/game publishing work. Its a little strange how they said "already contacted" Being charitable maybe they interpreted silence as a green light?
