Here is a small explanation on why Founders will most likely NEVER come back.
First things first, what is being a Founder? Being a Founder means that you are part of the foundation of the game.
When purchasing a founder pack, YOU helped Epic Games, pay their employees on the development of Fortite Save The World.
When Fortnite Save The world's development has finished, the foundation of the game has been completed and no major changes will come towards it.
That being said, Epic Games doesn't need any foundation help anymore and removed the Founder packs.
"Why did they remove the packs? Couldn't they just keep them and change them to another title and still get the same items for buying a legacy super deluxe edition for example?"
No, because for Epic Games, they see Founders not only as players but players who helped the development. That being said, Epic wants to give a appreciation to how much you helped working on the foundation. If you bought the 20$ standart edition, they give a "Thank you" for supporting and give you the Founder's revolt.
If wanted to help alot and bought the "Super Deluxe" edition. As of it being pricey and expensive of approximately 100$, Epic rewarded you with Founder Heroes,Melees,Ranged weapons, with along side permanent account upgrades ( upgrades varies to your edition).
You can definitely see a scale of appreciation to people who helped the most with buying the "Super Deluxe" edition VS "Standart" edition.
Never the less feel less helpfull or less value if you didn't buy the most expensive founder pack because at the end, you still helped Save The World's Developpement. Without players being the Foundation of the game, Is it even really a game?
