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,
the game is a slot machine. It’s a purely aesthetic slot machine (zero ads, zero MTX, zero premium currency, zero paid DLC), but it turns out “does it look like casino gambling” is the concern, not “is it actually something that you can ruin your life over because it preys on gambling addiction”
It looks like the dev is just gonna sigh and accept the garbage “age rating” system, and let LBAL stay on the store as a “mature 18+ audiences only” app.
