One year ago, Playstack and I launched Balatro, and what a journey it has been!
I often said that I made this game for myself and that I wasn't expecting anything to become of it. Seeing so many people connect with Balatro has overwhelmingly filled this year with joy, so from the bottom of my heart thank you to all players that decided to give this game a shot. Your love and support have kept Balatro thriving, and it wouldn't be possible without you.
I am hard at work and I hope this next year will do Balatro fans proud. I appreciate you all naneinf!
