A NMS streamer just informed his thousands of viewers it is a "singleplayer game in a multiplayer universe", describing it that way only because the developers said it would be very difficult to find other players... Information spreads really fast whether its right or wrong.
How about by "met" he meant that their paths crossed? He was surprised that the paths of two players, among 15 quintillion planets or whatever, crossed on the first day. Maybe he didn't literally mean that they met and could see each other and shake hands.
Yes, that's probably what he meant, but it isn't what a lot people read into it; just like his statements in previous interviews on multiplayer pre-release. :)
As someone said in this thread; if the developers intended multiplayer to be very rare and enjoyed by only a few people, they wouldn't have put a lot of effort into it as they're a small team; it'd be like just a small bonus. It'd be shared everywhere on YouTube etc if someone actually found each other knowing the slim chances of it ever happening. That two streamers found the same system and planet within a day wasn't part of the developers plans, I think.
