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 !

I know this wont make everyone happy, but I prefer steamworks MUCH more than Ubisofts DRM. It seems like most people enjoy it as well.

This is good news. Too bad they didn't drop this information BEFORE the free weekend awhile back. I would have tried the game to see if I wanted to buy it. Ah well...maybe a demo will drop 2-3 years from now.

Ubi said that due to the beta feedback they put RUSE back anyway to deal with issues that had arisen. Chances are the final game won't be anything like the beta. ;)
