Ubisoft's decision to make its most recent PC games use an "always on" internet connection for its DRM set up angered many PC gamers. Now it looks like one upcoming PC title, the WWII themed RTS game R.U.S.E., is making the decision to dump that kind of set up in favor of another.

In a post on the game's official message boards, an Ubisoft community developer confirmed that R.U.S.E. will in fact use Valve's Steamworks for its DRM program. This isn't a huge shock as Steam has been used to beta test the game off and on for the past several months. While a Steam account and an internet connection will be needed to activate the game, R.U.S.E.'s single player mode will be available for offline play. This is a direct break away from Ubisoft's past few PC games that always needed an active internet connection in order to play the game, even in single player mode.
