why is it labeled as multiplayer?

[Bait]

says local coop only in info but labeled otherwise, remote play is still considered local coop due to games forcing splitscreen. almost got it for a friend and i plus nostalgia, but feels like they tried to trick people

Two player coop is still muiltiplayer, yeah. It's natively supported, not like a certain someone's FNV example.

I just saw instructions in the community hub for online coop through Steam, but I have not tested it myself. In short, start the game with your save game and the friend as well (if I recall correctly), invite your friend through the steam overlay and change to the second player (by pressing F2), so your friend can play with his own characters.

if the only way to get multiplayer is some secret method, like I appreciate it but lets be honest with ourselves here, this doesn't really make this game multiplayer supported, its just some obscure work around. I will def try this though.

Just look up the meaning of "Multiplayer" e.g. in wikipedia:
"A multiplayer video game is a video game in which more than one person can plaz in the same game environment at the same time, either locally on the same computing system (couch co-op), on different computing systems (LAN / WAN) [...] Multiplayer games usually require players to share a single game system or use network technology to play together [...] players may compete against one or more human contestants, work cooperatively with human partner to achieve a common goal..."

In short, more than one player can play the same game at the same time = multiplayer (same system or not, does not matter for the definition, as well as the game mode doesn't). Since two players are more than one, we have in fact a multiplayer game, compared to single player (one player only).

If I recall correctly, there is a label in steam for "online multiplayer".

About the english language, multi means more than one.

wow that is an extreme amount of yapping for you to not realize multiplayer is not internally supported, and yes, the system matters VERY much

Coop is also multiplayer. You don't need any third party software to play legal copy of this game with a friend online, you have steam remote play

It's not. Store page only says local\splitscreen coop, not multiplayer. But 2 players is still multiplayer, so even if it was tagged multiplayer, it wouldn't be wrong

"no third party software" "steam remote play" how smooth brained do you have to be to type that out without realizing the obvious fact that remote play is a third party software...

local area network =/= multiplayer

Shared/splitscreen coop = multiplayer. Online coop = multiplayer. Literally any form of 2 people playing the game together is a multiplayer

When its not internally supported =/= multiplayer. having to use remote play or any other 3rd party app does not mean the game is multiplayer. Like explained in my previous FNV example.
