I've always thought this game looked like shit.

Doesn't it only go up to 4 players or something? What a weird limit for such a large game. I guess the devs just weren't skilled enough to raise it any higher.

🥱

Did I criticize the thing you like? Pardon me for not keeping up with updates for shitty games before criticizing them.

You're also wrong: "The game can currently be played by multiple people together online in parties of 2 to 4 players."

You can play as a group/team of four, but the game can display up to 32 players in the same area simultaneously, which is quite more likely to happen during expeditions.

Using a fucking outdated wiki as your "evidence" while acting like bloody Sherlock Holmes?!? Could you be a bigger ass?

From the actual game website:

"Experience up to 32 player multiplayer when you summon the social hub, the Space Anomaly, from anywhere in the universe. Form a group, go on inter-galactic missions together or visit each other’s bases."

Why are you so upset? I just did a quick google search and that's what came up. Am I supposed to do actual research for a shitty game? No, I don't care that much.

Also, they aren't very clear about whether or not you can actually group up with 32 players, only summon them in a "social hub."

I don’t care that much.

And yet here you are.

Yeah.

You're supposed to know what you're talking about before commenting, yes. Otherwise people will point out you're wrong.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Cool, buddy.

"Doesn't it only go up to 4 players or something?"

That was the max number of players who could play together for something like 3 update cycles, and that was years ago. Everyone was still technically in the same shared universe, you just couldn't actually co-op with more than that... but, again, that's outdated. Not sure what the limit is now, if there even is one - it's a more seamless and behind-the-scenes load-balancing deal now.
