Featured Comments

This game was made by a solo developer; it would be great if people bought it from a legitimate store (not a grey market keyshop) so that they get their share of the sale.

https://isthereanydeal.com/game/balatro/info/ is one resource for finding the best price from a legitimate store.
Please just buy it off Steam and support this duder as much as possible.
Where do grey markey key shops get their keys from, such that the developer is not compensated?

Yeah it's the perfect Switch game for sure. Finally saved my Switch OLED from rotting in the closet.

For anyone interested, you don't have to like poker to like this game. You only play poker hands to score but it's a lot deeper than that.

I'll wait for it to be in a humble bundle and give their share to charity.

Stolen credit cards where the transaction is reversed after the key is already redeemed or purchased in regions where the game is cheaper and then resold in America seem to be the big ones.

Please stop buying indie, and in this case solo, developed games from these grey markets. Most likely the dev will see none (credit card charge back) or very little (low cost region keys) of the money. Especially when the game is a certified hit and you have people telling you it's worth every penny at full price. And if full price is out of your budget then just keep an eye on isthereanydeal and likely by the end of the year it will get a 50% discount in one of the major Steam sales.
