Slippery Slope Fallacy

The majority of DLCs aren't expansions.

Name 1 (one) expansion that wasn't worth the price for entry. DLC is like that 90% of the time.

in other words it doesn't work

>dude it happened so it was inevitable

Did this actually make your horse harder to kill?

Back in the day, expansions were just map packs.

Bro that armor looks fucking dope, I wish I could buy it for my horse in a video game.

EA put microtransactions in one of the early Maddens on the 360, before they figured out how to milk players with sportsgacha aka Ultimate Team
Horse Armor was just a bigger deal because Elder Scrolls used to have actual expansions

>there was nothing we could do dude it's hopeless
Worthless doomer, erase yourself from the genepool

Most expansions weren't just map packs, but a few of them were. Even a map pack with new classes/characters/etc is a lot compared to modern DLC.

I don't know, but horses were actually strong as is
Plus you get Shadowmere later on
Let's be real, everyone hates cosmetics, MTX and gacha.
But, ask yourself: are these things going away eventually or these things are actually designed to prey on us eternally?

Let's be real. AAA Game production value keep getting higher while the price stay the same for what? 30 years?
The need to get money from somewhere.

Whoever came up with the "slippery slope fallacy" is a genius. I mean, really, that is one brilliant piece of social engineering. What a great way to make people deny the existence of gradualism and entryism with a simple thought-terminating cliche.

Slippery slope is technically a logical fallacy because it can be used incorrectly and erroneously. However, it is also the primary fallacy covered under the fallacy fallacy (yes its a thing) that says that just because something has a logical fallacy in it, doesnt mean that the thesis is incorrect.

In this case, you have to prove that the slope is slippery if arguing that way, but Im not really sure how you do that. You could bring up history but god knows theres some kind of fallacy to cover appeals to history or some shit.

Luckily you can always invoke the fallacy fallacy and smite the simps.

people get used to what surrounds them. But markets don't work without customers. if nobody had bought DLC, then it would never get made. that stuff costs money to make.

Ever wonder why Genshin Impact, a high budget, AAA **GACHA*** game got made? because fans were desperate to play one.

ever wonder why so many games are loudly avoiding loot boxes, because they don't always make money, but they have been abused to hell and now piss too many people off.

it is not a slippery slope. it is a very rough slope, but so many people are dragging the sled that the slope may as well be covered in Vaseline.

They already got money from people buying the game. Expansion-sized DLC is fine but on disc and day one "DLC" and mtx is garbage and has no place in non-F2P games

is Zig Forums really so stupid that they thought there would be a timeline where viable internet download speeds wouldn't lead to DLC in games?

Redpilled

Why don't they cut movies into pieces and make you pay extra to see the end?

Then these companies need to draw a line and man up economically.
If a game is not economically feasible, then it isn't to be made right now.
The paradigm must shift eventually.

Sanity: Aiken's Artifact predates Oblivion by 6 years. Might be the first instance of a game with microstransactions.

Does viable internet speeds also justify always online DRM in single player games

>there are anons in the Year of our Lord two thousand and twenty who don't think the slippery-slope is real

It's only a fallacy because it implies that slipping down the slope is a *logical* inevitability rather than a *practical* inevitability.

>fallacy

Next gen price is going up by $10 and that is enough to cause massive flamewar.
