I'm thinking it's more hoop jumping between NCSoft and Valve. NCSoft used to have all of their games on Steam, but pulled everything (only Guild Wars returned) the same time EA did when Valve started requiring games to use the Steam storefront or Steam Wallet for microtransactions, which obviously cuts into NCSoft's profits. If this requirement still exists (I know other F2P MMOs like Rift and ArcheAge both use Steam Wallet when launched from Steam), I imagine that's causing some behind-the-scenes wrangling. Hopefully it gets worked out before F2P launch, because I think that'd be a significant boon to its launch, but I can sort of understand NCSoft not wanting to share Wildstar's revenue when it's been hard to come by in the first place.

Oh that is brilliant. As a collector that may be the best news in the stream for me. Together with the holocrypt news that's two small bits of faith restored.

So you think actual loyal players that have been subscribed since launch don't deserve a special reward because they are a "teeny tiny percentage therefore they don't really matter"? I agree that people who have a few days of lapses or maybe a week should still be getting the Crawler. But just giving it out to everyone who just have a little subscription time and still feel entitled to get something meant to be a top tier reward I really don't agree with and it actually really irritates me, it would just take all the special out of it. I agree with Cantatus that that the other group of supporters should still be getting rewards, but less rewarding than the people who have been really dedicated and supported Wildstar and Carbine from the start with subscriptions. Maybe a pet or something like that..
