Ubisoft revealed yesterday that the PC version of R.U.S.E. will not use their infamous DRM scheme. Although the game will be an exception, it still represents the possibility of a shift in Ubisoft’s policies with their PC games.
Ubisoft on their forums on August 11th announced that R.U.S.E. on PC will use Valve’s Steamworks DRM. “It will benefit from Valve’s Steamworks API to offer the best community experience to players,†said a Ubisoft community manager. “For this reason, R.U.S.E. will not use the Ubisoft protection. Single player can be played offline.†Users will need an internet connection to initially activate the game, but not to play it afterwards.
Ubisoft later confirmed that R.U.S.E. will be the exception, not the new rule. “We will continue to use Ubisoft protection system on most of our PC Games,†said Ubisoft PR Manager Stefano Petrullo to VG247.
