Items from old support packs

I'm really interested in the Annihilator set. I wasn't around in 2022 when it was a support pack so I'm hoping there is some other way to get these items going forward. Will they ever be just released for individual purchase from the shop, or be bundled up in something in the future? Has GGG done anything like this in the past? With all these items getting ported to poe2, it feels weird to not give players any way to access them again.

Ah man.. this is a real bummer. I don't know why it would be considered unfair to give people in the future a chance to also buy in to these items. I hope you guys reconsider this policy. It's quite the sting to newer players.

Them going back on their word - and not in terms of "this skill got nerfed between the patch announcement and us releasing the patch, sorry about that" - but specifically on how they chose to promote items they were then selling for real-world money would be seen as a massive betrayal by many older members of the community.

When this somes up quasi-frequently, there's usually one or two token people suggesting it would violate some law or other. Most commonly, they cite laws pertaining to deceptive advertising.

I'm no legal expert, so I won't weigh in on that - but speaking as a former CM, it would be catastrophically bad PR.

Honestly I wouldn't mind, there have been a few packs back in the day that I was unable to get. They could make some sort of random pack drops from the "vault" and have it where they're only released once a year if that for 24-48 hours.
