"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 !"

Excellent News!!! It seems they're starting to notice that Ubisoft's DRM isn't helping sales at all, and is instead costing money.

Steam is GOD!

Nice, I hope they remove their DRM from Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction, Assassin's Creed II and Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic.
