Sorry, it's just your interpretation of what the tag means. We specifically state in our description it's local co-op.

Are the Steam tags confusing? Yes they certainly are, and clearly they are open to interpretation, regardless of what the actual dictionary definitions mean

Yes I agree it is a little confusing and doesn't fit the dictionary definiton, you have to be a long-term Steam user to properly understand the tags and as a developer carefully read into what you tag the game as. It's an unfortunate side-effect of the constantly evolving platform.

In the past Steam only had "Multiplayer" & "Co-Op" as the two available choices then later "Local Co-op" was added, the "online multiplayer" distinction is a newer feature that wasn't brought out until earlier this year (Valves own games don't even use it yet) and all "legacy" games that were online would be using the "Multiplayer" tag as they were never given the choice between those two. Local multiplayer games would use the "Shared/Split Screen" tag. All titles newly listed on Steam (or later revised by the developer/publisher) get the free choice between "Online Multiplayer" and "Local Multiplayer" but also choosing "Multiplayer" is actually referring to online multiplayer and is a legacy tag. New titles are still able to be tagged as this so that they are still included in the filter if people are looking up multiplayer games.

I appreciate that you are fixing the error though, other games like Phantom Breaker kept the online "Multiplayer" tag for over a year because they had a "planned" online mode that wasn't even in the game at the time.

In regards to the description saying it's local co-op that doesn't automatically make it not online capable but yes many games that have local co-op make special mention of it in the description because there is a dedicated playerbase to locally playable games. Better to go by what is tagged on the right than what is in the description since games get constant updates/changes between updates and platforms and some developers do a lazy copy/paste that may not be fully accurate.

Thanks for your understanding. Hopefully The tags will be updated very soon.... not sure on an ETA as it's the holidays.

Will you guys be adding an online coop in the future? I think it would be great if you did but that's up to you and it could boost sales and have 4 player coop online! My Friends and I would have a blast with 4 player coop!

No plans on adding any online play, sorry. I've mentioned this already in the feature request thread.
