The SF/Fantasy MMORPG WildStar loses a key figure with Brett Schreinert.
In the community forum “reddit,” there is currently only one topic: TimeTravel is gone. Brett “TimeTravel” Schreinert was one of the developers who frequently engaged with the community, addressing their questions and responding to their concerns. He had been at Carbine since 2011.
His name is closely associated with the hopes of a WildStar that was meant to provide players with real raid experiences like in the days of WoW. Most recently, he was the “Multiplayer Systems Lead.”
@WSSesshoumaru I am sorry for the drama my departure is causing =( I also can’t really go into the details.

Schreinert could not comment on the background of his departure. He only said that the rumors were true, and he was no longer with Carbine. A mutual separation usually sounds a bit different.
There is a lot happening at Carbine right now. Just last month, they got a new boss in Chad Moore.
Even though the transition to a Free2Play model probably did not have the hoped-for success, WildStar still has two hot irons in the fire with a launch on Steam and in China. Another update is also announced.
