Happy New Year everyone! Just three hours into 2025, I received an email from Google Play Support with the following subject line:
Action Required: Your app is not compliant with Google Play Policies (Luck be a Landlord)
Nothing has changed with Luck be a Landlord in the past few months,
It’s a strategy/puzzle/autobattler game.
It’s loosely gambling themed in that it uses one of those pull the handle spiny wheel mechanics to draw your “units” for the turn and has some gambling iconography.
The issue here would be overreactive governments setting rules about gambling and children, being unable to differentiate a game game and a lootbox machine.
Doing absolutely nothing about lootboxes though.
