The card Rogue game "The Joker" released on February 20, 2024 was removed from the shelves in some countries and regions because it was accused of "containing outstanding gambling images and materials to guide gambling". Its PEGI (Pan European Games)The information organization) score is also 18+, which means that only adults can purchase and play this game.

As a buyout stand-alone game, its developer "LocalThunk" doesn't think so: "I still think this rating is unfounded, but there is some gray area for PEGI's explanation, and that's the situation. IThinking that what disappoints me the most is that other games with actual gambling mechanics don't get the same rating due to their appearance/theme.”

So after nearly a year of complaints, PEGI has now announced good news, that is, the rating of "Joker Card" is currently updated to PEGI 12, which means that players over 12 years old are allowed to buy and experience the game.

The explanation for this PEGI is: "The Complaints Committee concluded that although the game explains the various types of playing cards, this Roguelike deck building game contains some mitigating fantasy elements and therefore PEGI should be given12 rating. ”
