"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?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No because that's not killing anyone.

But a slot machine simulator is still gambling even if it doesn't really pay out.

So a slot machine simulator getting banned in countries that ban gambling makes perfect sense.

But the creator apparently thinks it's because those countries just love capitalism so much...

I don't know what's hard to understand

Uhh, no? That's not what gambling is?
