There has been many a comment about Ubisoft’s DRM protection for their Windows PC games, news from the official R.U.S.E. forums from community manager Ubi_Wuzzi is that they will be using Steam’s DRM protection instead of Ubisoft’s. Great news for those who don’t like Ubisoft’s DRM servers!

Hey everyone,

This news is destined to our PC players audience, so please spread the information if you know some.

When R.U.S.E. is released in September, it will benefit from Valve’s Steamworks API to offer the best community experience to players. Consequently, a Steam account and Internet connection will be required to activate the game, as per Steam policy. For this reason, R.U.S.E. will not use the Ubisoft protection. Single player can be played offline.
Console players, stay tuned for more R.U.S.E. news in the coming days !
