"This is just straight up Cosmetics for cash." ---  That's the way it has always been.

All the cosmetics on Warframe have always been obtained through plat purchase only. They are also non-tradable. (Eg. all the syandanas, sugatras, prime accessories, etc.)

Only difference now is that we can't get plat ingame to be able to get these particular helmets. For the rest of the cosmetics ingame, we had the option of obtaining plat through trading and then spending those plats on cosmetics (which are untradable), instead of buying plat directly from DE.

With these alternative helmets, we can't do that since it's hosted on a Steam workshop, and Steam will get a slice of the profits (maybe 30% so or goes to Steam? Idk.) so the price will also inevitably be higher than if DE hosted the sales of these helmets themselves.

Also, these are just cosmetic items, and do not hinder your progress in the game in any way. If you can pay for them, cool. If you can't, it's not like "Hey, your fab meter needs to be THIS high to be able to do a sortie mission."

" Doing things like this is a dangerous slope. " --- No, this isn't any different of a F2P model than what we already had.
