And today there's also a third, but short, part of the news:

In a divine act of people-pleasing that resonates with me to an uncomfortable degree, Balatro creator LocalThunk has revealed the game was only meant to release with 120 jokers but a publisher flub had him adding an extra 30 instead of, you know, correct anybody.

Well, having sunk about 37 hours into the thing at the time of writing, I can tell you that Underdog difficulty—which wants you to "overcome punishing odds" is far from being too hard—if anything, it's just about right.
