As a lifelong gamer and tech enthusiast, I can’t help but feel frustrated when games I enjoy get unfairly targeted by companies like Google. Luck Be a Landlord is one such game that has recently found itself in hot water for no good reason. This quirky deckbuilding game is all about managing your rental properties using a slot machine mechanic – it doesn’t involve any real-world gambling or virtual currency, yet Google has flagged it as containing gambling content.
As someone who has spent countless hours playing games on my Android device, I can attest to the fact that there are far more egregious examples of gambling in other apps and games that have slipped through the cracks. It’s disappointing to see a well-made game like Luck Be a Landlord get penalized for no good reason while those other offenders continue to operate without consequence.
I hope that TrampolineTales, the developer behind this fantastic game, is able to successfully appeal Google’s decision and keep Luck Be a Landlord on the Play Store. As a gamer, I want to have access to a wide variety of high-quality games, and it’s important that companies like Google don’t arbitrarily censor games based on incorrect assumptions or outdated policies.
