Next you'll be telling me that slippery slope doesn't exist because it's the name of a fallacy.

I've always felt that "slippery slope fallacy" is a silly term. Why do we have special language to refer to any weak argument that takes a certain form? Why not just call them "weak?"

However, as it's not uncommon for people to reject arguments purely on the basis of them taking a slippery slope form, "slippery slope fallacy fallacy" should totally become a phrase.

And when people start accusing others of "slippery slope fallacy fallacy" only on the basis that they were arguing against a slippery slope argument, we can introduce the "slippery slope fallacy fallacy fallacy."

New range of products, new currency and economy, new taster.

Again, hopefully the amount gained from RT will be enough to allow non-micro players to get some nice cosmetics. But if you have 650/700 Dust, just one small purchase might be awful tempting.

Half the fun of this stuff is seeing what companies come up with to gain our money.

Nah. I could care less if it's technically a fallacy. We all know what the concept is.

Silver Dust may be a step back in the right directoon, but the cynic in me says it's just a way to get non-microtransaction people into the economy, the same way Overwatch does with it's loot boxes. Spending real money on something is much easier when you're already halfway there in terms of currency.

Plus, you know. "The first taste is free".

The first taste already happened when Bungie gave us all some Silver at Eververse's debut.

Unless the thing is just a gimicky feature that really doesn't do what Kermit, myself, or even you are actually hoping for, anyway.

I'm certain it is. It sounds more like something in the vein of filters, or big head mode.

Hmmm... big head mode might be the first thing that would actually get me to pay for a microtransaction, come to think of it.

You get it for dismantling items received from Radiant Treasure, which can be earned in-game.

But you can also just but radiant treasures. So yes and no.

What is it's purpose?

So that you don't have to spend money to get what you want. Basically if I understand it correctly you can break down ornaments you don't want to buy ornaments you do want, and I believe they even mentioned the filters they are talking about being purchasable with silver dust.

Maybe that's how they managed to sneak in Silver dust? Still annoying as hell, though.

Wait, what's that? Is it another purchasable currency?
