When I bought all dlc for stellaris, but it's offline. We'll have to switch to a cloud service. it's a pity

The community service is a mess. This Andrew cant provide any useful information, why bother to comment anyway. We had to extract informations from the discord server. Im going to give ck3 a negative steam review and refund my deluxe edition.

I'm talking about CK3 here.
CK3 is down on GFN because GFN users can play 3$ DLC.

I already recommended a service a few comments* ago. Another that I can also recommend is the Nware, you pay 11 euros and you can play any game present in Steam and / or Epic Games launcher.

I was wondering ... maybe they do have the same problem with ck3, Stellaris and hoi4?

I also have registered for boosteroid now and it was working fine for me with ck3. But it is still ridicolous that the game cannot be played on geforce now and even more ridicolous that it probably will not work until the end of the year. There is only one DLC.
By the way, ist there some fixing for Macs coming because with my Mac the game still crashes after 10 minutes the whole system. If this would be fixes I even would not need gf now. This makes it double time frustrating for me and in fact it is kind of customer illusion because the game is also sold for Macs.
In summary I have spent money for a game which I cannot play. It is not working on my Mac (crashing). I cannot play it on geforce now which I do not want to quit because of Founder Status and now I spent money for a second cloud streaming service. Again, it is so ridicolous.
A company which want to be professional but led by amateurs. This is my view onto paradox now.

so it's a Geforce now problem that we can't play while they fix the game

okay, that's nice and all. Doesn't mean that they had to pull it while they're on holidays

That is true, but couldn't they leave CKIII up while removing Stellaris, or would that be considered inequitable?

I'm simply here to say this. People need to freakout less about this, while paradox is working slow with CKIII and Stellaris it isn't permanently down and as of the 10th Nvidia is still actively tracking the progress of the issue and updating people.
There's no need to pressure Paradox or it's employees at all as the teams are already working to fix things, it's simply that the issues they have either take work or are lower on the priority list in face of other issues. Especially with HOI4 on GFN as the team is 100% working on it and it's probably an issue with either the launcher or multiplayer, even though Paradox is a big company they manage many games and have individual teams that work at different speeds.
Paradox is far from an effective or consistent studio, but I think there's an overreaction to the situation and a bit of patience will help.

Imagine paying for a Game and a monthly subscription for an streaming service so you can play it on your potato laptop and some random dude tells you to chill out. I mean it doesnt run for 2 months now. If you think the developers working hard to solve this, then you are complete delusional. I do have the feeling, that this issue is the lowest of all prioritys. My only options are to blame paradox or gfn or both. So dont mind if i do.

Patience died out after a month of silence. If you don't use GeForce Now and are happily playing, shut ya trap. If you do and are content in your ignorance, the same advice applies. It's perfectly reasonable to ask about the status or at least an explanation behind why one, then two, then three games were put into maintenance--for months. Paradox doesn't need a nobody answering for them. It's a big enough company to empower someone like @AndrewT or someone else to answer our questions adequately.

Really people should actually give up. At this point its pretty clear that Paradox on GFN is a failed service. They're flirting with a 50% offline status for the year 2021.
There is probably some contract on their end they have to try and uphold but they have made it pretty clear this is the best they can do.
Its just them trying to keep up appearances now. I'm really not that interested in playing patty cake with them and neither should you. The break up is coming, this can't be saved.

I agree with all the dissatisfaction and frustration generated by the paradox (just going on vacation) and basically forgetting all paying users trying to access the GForce platform. I will unsubscribe and thus will not be able to play paradox games since I usually played on my work laptop.

Well... I didn't think I'd have to post again in this forum 4-5 weeks after my initial post (the one I exclusively created an account for...) but here we are:
How on earth can your communication with the players - your paying customers (!!!) - be so ridiculously bad?! Andrew aside... im sure you have been doing what ever you could/can and be sure, that's very much appreciated!
I didn't get into it last time but there are no mandatory 2 months of vacation in Sweden - trust me, I used to live there. However its kinda sacred to go on vacation during July/August. BUT Sweden, as almost every other counter in Europe, has 25 days of holiday per year (some companies will give employees more... but 2 full month just in summer is unheard of). Not to mention: there are 9 (?) paradox studios around? Wouldn't it be wise to plan holidays in a way that there's always a few developers and members of communications (!!!!!!) around? You know, like basically every other bigger company is doing it?
The way you treat customers is embarrassing - id like to say your communication is bad, but its just nonexistent. I don't believe you are actually reading the posts here anyways. Thats why I wrote you a - more appropriately written - letter.. also explaining why I - and a bunch of colleagues and friends - dropped our shares recently. Honestly, refunding a 60$ game is a drop on a hot stone... nothing. But a few K in shares might hurt... im most definitely not trusting a company like that with my money (-30-40% in the past 6 months speaks for itself.. wonder what took me so long).
TL;DR: don't treat your customers/shareholders like they are braindead... act like the developer you want to be, developing FOR THE PLAYERS. You won't be around for the long run, we've seen many examples. Also: don't blame Nvidia for this mess, I know for sure (!) it wasn't their idea to take the games down.

Same dude commented today, saying they hoped to have it resolved by October. Troy added a few more details, all on Discord. There's a number of issues...I experienced mostly the saves not working on account of that Garb DLC.
Here's the direct comments...disappointing but at least we know something.
