2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

They're a small studio with a small budget. They probably didn't have the skills and money. The success of the game on Steam would have given them the resources to do this.

I also think most people don't see the market, it's only got this amount of attention on phones because of the success on steam.

A odd side note, someone was pretty clever and found a way to port the steam version to ios and Android well before the official port - https://retrohandhelds.gg/how-to-install-balatro-on-android-and-ios/. I'll admit to having used this to play on my phone over the summer, but definitely bought it again once it hit the app store.
