Not surprising since it apparently uses Steam's underlying system to power multiplayer. They have to come up with some other solution for non-Steam platforms.
To be fair that's not just an issue with NMS. A lot of games are missing features on GoG compared to Steam because of how different they are. Like Hat in Time doesn't get hotfixes and barely has mod support on GoG because of how much harder it is to push that stuff to it compared to Steam, so I'd imagine that's a similar issue to what's happening to NMS.
That's always been an issue with GoG. Its meant for old games, not for newer ones. Especially multiplayer games with central servers and the like.
Also it's hard to establish a new online game/feature without some kind of DRM, and GoG is all about being DRM free. I didn't expect it, but now that I see the problem, I'm not really surprised.
They definitely should have broadcast this a long time ago though. They'd get flak for it anyways, but would have been good for their reputation if they clearly explained the issue.
they willingly chose to distribute the game through gog though, how is it unreasonable to expect them to give a heads up any sooner than literal launch day that the biggest part of the update won't be in the game? it's not like launch day for the update came, and they suddenly realized "oh, we didnt finish multiplayer in time for gog" they purposefully waited until the last minute to get purchases out of unsuspecting people and then straight up refused to refund them no matter how you look at it, it's scummy and deceptive if it was legitimate bad communication, why not offer an apology and refunds?
They need to stop with the procedural generation being a selling point, it allows them to not bother hand placing shit and having stuff look good because it was made to look good, instead just RNG a planet and hope it's decent. I know Procedural generation can be good, but they need to lay off it by this point.
There are handcrafted set-pieces and characters in the game. Just for story content though.
