CLOUD is broken, so no multiplayer games

Not that you won't be able to make multiplayer games, you just can't play with a scratcher from, for example, Spain. So technically, you will be able to play a multiplayer game with your classmates or siblings. Just not with the example scratcher from spain. There is word that the cloud data servers are down.
Since not being able to use cloud variables affects almost everyone on Scratch (New Scratchers can't use cloud variables), the Scratch Team knows all of this and being so is trying to fix the problem or at least figure out what the problem is.

Yep, though it's been 17 days, and on average, it tends to take then a few hours to 2 weeks, so this seems rather unnatural

this happened right when i tried to make a multiplayer game too so now I have to just wait

It's been more than 2 months for me. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE!!??

I don't know whats going on with scratch a lot of things are breaking.

See the title of the second sticky.

Cloud variables are currently broken, and all we can do is wait for them to be fixed.
Unfortunately, no one seems to know what's causing issues or when they will be fixed.
This affects every Scratcher, so the Scratch Team is aware of the situation.

The cloud variables are broken, IT’S BEEN 2 MONTHS SO SCRATCH TEAM, PLEASE FIX

The Scratch Team knows about this. Please check stickies before making a topic!
