In order for an argument to be a slippery slope argument it needs to require that step one leads to step two.

My argument wasn't even a slippery slope argument and is therefore not the slippery slope fallacy.

My claim was that normalizing this type of pay-to-win-light game design makes it easier for them to normalize pay-to-win-full game design. It did not claim that normalizing this will lead to normalizing that.

I don't want either in my games.

If we push back against this now it should make them think twice about considering full pay-to-win single player non-free games, because it could have a much bigger backlash. Which is what I was saying.
