Doesn't matter to a kid with a phone and unlimited time and willpower. I know with 100% certainty, if I was 16 and wanted to play Balatro, I wouldn't be talking to you, I'd have an .apk already.

Storefront? Lmao.

    Piracy being the only way to get a game isn't beneficial to the dev, and Balatro is the kind of game that deserves our money. It could have easily been jammed to the gill with paid boosts premium decks, etc, but instead, they just made a good game.

    I went looking for a patreon or donation page... Guys who get hit with this should just go that route. He doesn't have a general one up.

    We can't control the bullshit, but we can side-step it.
