RUSE will not use Ubisoft DRM

RUSE will not use Ubisoft's standard DRM, the RUSE team have confirmed. Instead, it'll use Steamworks and will be playable offline in the normal Steam fashion.

The RUSE team released this message aimed squarely at PC gamers:

Ubisoft's controversial DRM, which requires a constant internet connection at all times to play even singleplayer games (and will sometimes prevent you from saving your game if your connection drops, booting you to the menu), has always been a bad idea. We've made sure to make a stink about the DRM when we review Ubisoft games that use it. From their point of view, it's the only thing preventing anyone from pirating their games. From the pirates' point of view, it's the best thing about pirating their games. From PC Gamer's point of view, it makes it very hard for us to recommend an excellent game if the slightest nibble at your broadband cable (or their servers) can kick you out of a single player session and ditch your progress.
