I don't understand what you're talking about. Balatro does not contain loot boxes/gacha. In a world where so many modern AAA games are exploiting all kinds of shady dark patterns, Balatro took off by not doing any of that shit. It's just a sincerely fun game, and it sounds like you're literally just complaining that it's too fun and that should somehow be policed.
The guy is clearly an idiot. He made this stupid comment and he can't justify it but rather than admit that it's a stupid comment and he doesn't know what he's talking about, he's trying to back it up in some bizarre way with this mumbo jumbo non-logic.
