I wasn't exactly clear on what would or would not be in based on that livestream. I actually need to spend some time watching it this evening to see if I can catch that part. I didn't hear a definitive no on multiplayer at the start of early access, it seemed more to me that they were referring to split screen.
In any case, while I'll be scooping this up day one of early access, I likely won't play at all until multiplayer is in, if it isn't from the start. This is a multiplayer experience to me, and my friend and I want to go in with this completely fresh. So if it'll take some time to implement it, I'll no doubt put it on the backburner until that time arrives.
