I KNOW. I am up to date with this game. I have 550 hours, and a highscore off a random seed of 7e60 , and it affects my life personally.
It’s a satirical joke.
I don’t understand why people misunderstand my comment. I don’t want shit from Localthunk, I thought including “and bugfixes” indicated that I saw and appriciated the post release effort they put in, and the “hookers and blow” was further cementing my statement as satire, as I’m pretty sure they aren’t taking shitloads of drugs and fucking prostitutes. The statement about “twos” also should indicate I understand the backstory of the development of balatro.
Although, this is a partial lie. I do want LT to implement a better joker viewer that lets us see the joker artwork bigger, and to include some kind of plot via flavortext or SOMETHING. If I had more time, I’d work on a mod for it, but I have my own personal projects that are 100% mine to take care of, and responsibilities I have to take care of too.
Not all games need to be eternal game projects that the dev commits themselves to for the rest of time. Normalize normal release schedules and letting games end.

But if they don’t want to, meh. It’s not like I spend shitloads of time on the collection screen.
Why are there no updates besides cosmetics and bugfixes?
Because LT is busy with the hookers and blow, and playing twos IRL with their buds.
EDIT : I’m not calling for fuckloads of random jokers to dilute the playing pool; if I wanted that I’d install the fucking cryptid mod
EDIT 2 : This is a joke. It’s satire. You guys getting mad is making me a sad tyre, that feels misunderstood.
A free content update is coming early 2025.

Exactly! It’s not a competitive game. It doesn’t involve an online component.
Frankly I think it’s exactly what it needs to be, bugfixes not withstanding. It’s complex, fun, challenging, but not overwhelming.
The only thing I can think i might want are more challenges, but that’s such a minor thing if I never got another I’d be perfectly content.
100% correct. Not sure why I’m getting downvoted, I was more joking about how they have it made, rather than begging for updates.
Incidentally, they’re the one making statements about updates coming in 2025, hence this joke. I even clarified with the edit, but 🤷♂️
The game featured a series of balance updates after its original release. It’s overall in a very good state right now. Not sure what you would expect.
