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,
its the non casino themed gambling that should be banned. casinos are too boring for modern kids but all the real money transactions in games clearly are super appealing. I had casino video games as a kid and I don’t have a casino gambling problem at least. I gamble with whether to stay at my job or find a new one, or rent vs buy this or that regularly though. Or gambling over whether to work or spend money on school for a low chance of a higher paying job that didn’t cover the increased debt in 4 years and didn’t land me a new job of even approximately the same pay grade1. Actually I have won in casinos before but I’ve only ever lost non casino gambles.
