OW2 Founders Pack

It seems strange to me that in a half-arsed attempt to “compensate” overwatch 1 players who paid $60 for the game, Blizzard would grant us:

Jester Sombra
General Doomfist
Kiriko unlock…?
…and an icon?

They really should have offered more and even let us pick skins of our choosing. The Kiriko unlock seems kind of dumb because new heroes can be unlocked pretty quickly and an icon is…sad. A couple of complimentary battle passes would have gone a long way too in good faith. Especially since they scrapped the PVE, Dynamic Weather, Talent trees, CO-OP (I could go on.)

I wasn’t on the forums at the time but how did the player base initially react to this? it feels like leftovers were thrown at us that paid $60 for the game initially.

This one really pissed me off. You can’t tell somebody you are giving them a special surprise gift and then that gift is actually something that you assumed was going to be free to begin with, that many people already paid for via the watchpoint pack, and that you would’ve unlocked within 2 weeks of playing the game regardless. I feel stupid for not realizing at that moment that any semblance of caring or even pretending to care about player trust and goodwill was out the window

I didn’t even think of it in this way. It definitely feels like they took their OW1 players for granted and presumed (correctly) they’d just take it.
