A Steam Community post by the R.U.S.E. Team has the unexpected news that R.U.S.E. will not use Ubisoft's DRM scheme, much reviled by gamers for requiring a constant internet connection (thanks joao). The upcoming real-time strategy game will instead use Steamworks, and will support single-player play even without a 'net connection. This message is repeated on the Ubisoft Forums, where they add that more news is coming soon for console players: 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 have to admit that not being able to resell is a complete non-issue for me. I have every PC game I ever bought - often multiple copies if I re-purchased some digitally or in bundles.
I also don't look at Steam as "games as a service", but that's just me. Honestly, I'd been hoping for something like Steam for a long time before it shipped. When HL2 came out and I saw what it was like then, I was like   - Holy crap this SUCKS! Through steady improvement though, it has become almost exactly what I had envisioned. I wouldn't want to live in a world where it was the only option for PC gaming, but I'm glad it exists.
I never sell my games either, really. I buy used games sometimes, but only old ones you can't find new very easily.
Why don't you see Steam as a service? It says it is all over the place, and Newell talks about games being a service now at every public appearance. |
