"Balatro Removed from Stores Over Rating Discrepancy"

The game Balatro has been pulled from the European eShop with no estimated time for its return, possibly due to its content involving cards and poker hands in a roguelike game, which may have violated PEGI's 18+ rating for gambling in games. Developer PlayStack has stated that the removal was caused by a unilateral rating change, with the game originally being assigned an 18+ rating but later confirmed to have a 3+ rating following discussions with the authority, likely PEGI.
