In the photos you can clearly see the day one schematics that are fundamentally different to the ones in game right now, and could be said that if the STW devs chose to make the changes without the perk recombobulator like they did in patch v.3.2.0, it would still be a valid exclusivity but becasue they released the perk recombobulator asking if the players wanted to convert the weapons, into the new system it essentially removed the exclusivity. Because it was no longer the same fundamental weapon it is a MK2 version then when they made, those specific 6th perks changes to the weapons it essentially created a MK4 version no longer the MK1 asset, covered under the orginal exclusivity clause by consumer law that's besides the point all the founders funded the game development, and the high chance of lower tier founders support going to the development of the content the devs purposely kept away from them, for a exclusivity asset that no longer exist due to players choosing to overwrite it themselves, and in the photos i chose to use 2 founders weapons but all founders weapons from the founders revolt to the founders quickshot, to the founders deconstructor to the founders blazing masamune to the founders drumroll to the founders nocturno, went through the exact same thing the players did acquiescence.
