After years of cutting, development and self-improvement, Wildstar is content. Happy. That’s good to hear, isn’t it? Oh nope, hang on, there’s more. Message reads: ‘Wildstar is content patched’.

Last month Wildstar cancelled Christmas, and Carbine lost over 60 staff in a global bout of publisher restructuring. How do you think they’re doing at post-release support?
