Heck they'd likely get A few hundred stones for compensation. I started right around the time jiren was released, maybe one banner before. The same thing happened on JP, and they did it with Ultra Instinct Goku as well (for reasons that are now obvious they waited for the end of Dragon Ball Super to release his Dokkan Awakening, while the SSR was released after the first appearance of the "Sign" form in Episode 110). The fact that Global is treated 100 times worse is kind of a myth, since their goal is to profit from both versions of the game.

SS4 Gogeta and Omega Shenron were released on Global at the same time as JP, waaay sooner than expected, so as Jd72 mentioned they were released without Leader Skills. But only because Global had just gotten the first +120% Leaders (SS4 Goku & Vegeta), so it was still too soon for Categories.
