Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?
Nelots@piefed.zip 1 week agoI don’t even like deck builders but I gotta disagree with you were. I mean sure, if its a poker game like Balatro I could see it. But how is Slay the Spire gambling? That’s like calling DnD-like games simulated gambling because everything is decided through a dice roll.

How could Balatro be seen as gambling? It’s a game you purchase once with no DLC or microtransactions and there’s no gambling in the game.

Pretty sure some of these people would see games like Egyptian ratscrew as gambling

Later parts of grinding for Completionist++ felt like gambling on time to me. Not only you need to get a very certain joker, you need a competent build to carry that joker and whether you get desirable jokers is entirely up to luck.

Without actual stakes, and I mean “betting something” rather than the in game phrase, isn’t that just luck and not gambling?
