== Content ==
			
Hi, i am new to this game, seriously this time im done with WoW for good i really wanted to keep going but i just cant i get bored every 5 seconds when i log to the game no matter how much new content they add the game just belongs in the past. Wildstar is the only one that attracted me because its like WoW but in the future and with better races/characters. Steam is the largest gaming network that exists and its already confirmed that Wildstar will come to Steam as free to play in August, this is good cause when a game comes to Steam it means automaticly that it will gain a lot of new players and eventualy be active forever, especialy on Wildstar's case which is already known worldwide when it comes to Steam too it will gain a lot more players. 
 
My question is that will the game have any Steam DLCs to buy? because a free to play game on Steam means that if you unistall it later you will loose it from library but if you buy at least 1 DLC of the game, it gets locked in your library and you have it forever, i just wanted to know if Wildstar will have any Steam DLCs or at least the ultimate edition of the game or however its called, will it be available for purchase there? if anyone knows something tell me plz. Like TERA it came on Steam 1 month ago its free to play but players can buy its Steam DLCs and keep it in library.

Actually, there's been no confirmation that WildStar is coming to Steam, just some rumors. We may learn more in the next few days, or we may not.
 
As for your question, I guess I don't understand it... if it shows up on Steam, there might be some "starter packs" or something that include a bundle of cash shop items or perks if that's what you're talking about. But I don't know how any of that relates to the Steam library. Can you explain more clearly your question?

LoL man its already on Steam Database  https://steamdb.info/sub/68224/  and the developers of wildstar are creating a steam console version too for the new steam machines

Also not sure where you heard about a SteamOS version, but, I'd take that one with a huge grain of salt.

That's what "the leak" claimed, FWIW.

Sure, but, I'd expect a Mac version way ahead of a SteamOS version.
 
I'd love to see SteamOS catch on though so we could all ditch Windows forever.

Well "the leak" has proven to be a carabineros employee so what he said was probably true...AT THAT Time....what carbine has changed AFTER the leak is another matter;) 
 
But I think that Wildstar will come to steam and when they do you will most likely be able to purchase "steam-packages" of goddies....costume pices..mounts etc...steam does alot of that for games they have:)

Didn't carbine say this was just a rumor in an interview recently?
 
I wish I wasn't on my phone >.<
 
It was some interview regarding the F2P transition and omnibits, and then they confirmed the steam stuff was just rumors
 
I'd like to be wrong, I think steam would be a great advertising platform for this game

That what I say about beer, but then a week later I'm at the bar. 
 
I doubt they'll have any dlcs. Just the way they've been talking about f2p, sounds like they're not going to be selling anything like that on steam.

Gonna need some confirmation on that, because I'm not buying it. Did I miss an annoucement?

If a steam release was bound to happen this would have been confirmed with the F2P release.A steam release will be only planned if the F2P release does well and to introduce the game in another market.
 
There is no indication that a release is planned any time soon, an addition to the library of steam is not proof either.

. We are trying to get Wildstar to be THE MMO for Steamboxes, IE, Wildstar will be preinstalled with every system this was said by a developer of Wildstar  and also this ""Steam release should be by the end of this year or January at the absolute latest. It should definitely be before the China release. The China release is slower because we have to change every asset that has bones or blood or teeth or eyeballs and all of that stuff that they are not fond of. Some whole zones, specifically those with the Strain, have to be overhauled."" But it turned out that its in August acctualy and not at the end of the year

			I don't accept single anonymous sources as confirmation. You shouldn't either.

			We need "the leaker" to come out again;) and tell us:)

If the leak was legitimate and they still work at Carbine, they're not going to be dumb enough to leak updated information, and if they were fired, they're not going to have that information. ;)
 
In any case, independent evidence does point to WildStar appearing on Steam and releasing in China at some point, but, quite honestly, while they'll certainly be great for the game as far as exposure and population goes, the whens and hows of them happening are not things that we'd really benefit from having insider information on.

Last time I checked Steam machines were powered by SteamOS, which is a modified Debian 7 aka. Linux distribution for those that doesn't have an idea what Debian is.(1)(2)
 
Also last time I checked Wildstar was an exclusive Windows title.  There is not even a Mac port.  Not saying it cannot be done.  Just saying while some of that link info has surfaced as "questionable" truth, also this small part of the link IMO is just non sense vaporware.  We can't take a peek to Wildstar code to check how "portable" it is.  But a real truth in computer programming for those that are not in the field.  If you plan to make a title cross platform, you do that from day 1, when you start planning your software you select your market and tools to deliver.  You don't go and later decided Ooops would be nice to now cover more platforms.  It takes more work, and probably change core technologies already in place  to do that.  
 
A console comparison.  When you see cross platform titles, do you see them announced from the beginning and released either at the same time, or as a short 1-2 months between them (semi exclusive release lock), or simply exclusive 1 console only titles.  Those one console titles, have been released later for others???? No.
