Hey Syn@ptic o/

Let me try and address some of these points.

1. Our customer support for Galaxy Command has been a bit overwhelmed recently. The game was featured on AppStore, there was a significant influx of new players around the global release that caught the team a little unaware. But we are in the process of getting more people to work with the game's support.

2. Every bug that gets reported in-game or on our official channels is taken note of. It's either the community team that gathers the bug reports and passes them on to the dev team, or, if they're reported in-game, they reach the developers directly. The "downtime" you mention here, has been addressed on our official channels during this weekend and, I believe, the issues has been fixed.

3. Stellaris: Galaxy Command was recently released globally, after an extended period of a "soft launch" so we do consider it "ready" in that sense. As every Paradox game however, we hope to iterate on it, and keep developing it further.

4. The discord channel you brought up in this point, and previously, is not an "official" channel at all. It's a community channel that our developers sometimes visit to respond to questions or gather feedback. As much as we like to see any community flourish, we can't take responsibility for any fan channel's activity. The game's main community hub is an integrated in-game forum, the live chat and our social media channels on Twitter and Facebook that you can use to send us feedback at any time.

For the other 2 questions.
- Yes, Stellaris: Galaxy Command is a game published by Paradox, based on an IP owned by us and is therefore a Paradox game.
- We are always monitoring for feedback and the developers are working to address reported issues. Players who inquire with us on official channels (Just to reiterate, the mentioned Discord channel is not an official channel) will receive their answers, as soon as the community team is able to provide them.

To wrap up, it's of course never cool to see that some of our players don't enjoy their experience with either of our games. As with any Paradox game, the feedback for Stellaris: Galaxy Command gets gathered into reports, shared with all of our colleagues who have a "stake" in it and we use that as one of the factors that guide our priorities with the ongoing development.

Now. I wouldn't be a good corporate drone if I didn't point out that after an, admittedly, bumpy October soft-launch, SGC has received a lot of work, and I like to think that steadily growing review scores on both AppStore and GooglePlay are some reflection of how we're working with the feedback we receive from our players. That, of course, doesn't invalidate your experience, as that is always subjective, but I hope that this answers your questions. :)

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I just want you to know that I am making note of it and will forward it to the rest of the team as a part of our weekly report for the dev team.

As for giving you a general update on the development priorities going forward, the team is in the process of writing a Dev Diary now, summarizing what we've been doing since launch and what will be coming to the game next. I don't want to promise a specific day for when we'll publish it, as work is often unpredictable, but you'll get an update soon. :)

Just to address the discord questions again, there are 2 things I feel I need to clarify:
1. The unofficial Stellaris: Galaxy Command Discord is indeed frequented by some of our developers and it does serve as another source of gathering feedback from you. It's essentially what we do with fan communities for all our games, however the willingness of some of our employees to reach out to fan communities this way isn't an indicator that we take ownership of them.

2. The PC Stellaris Discord is a Discord for the PC game and its console port. What needs to be clarified here is that our individual game teams have a lot of freedom in how they run their projects and decisions regarding establishing some channels aren't made on a "franchise" level. The PC/Console team felt ready to commit to a Discord and that's working for them well, however that doesn't make it an official community channel for other Stellaris games, be it digital or our board game projects.

Galaxy Command has a number of community hubs outside and inside the game, for you to voice your feedback, and we are monitoring them regularly, even if we can't always provide immediate responses to all questions. The best places to report issues or ask questions are the integrated in-game forums or SGC's Social Media channels. If your feedback is posted there, we definitely see it.

Just so we're clear here, we have nothing to do with this game anymore. It is being run and operated by GameBear Tech and we here at Paradox are not in charge of the product, nor are we involved in the development/functionality of it. You will need to contact them for any questions about the game.
