Civilization V To Use Steamworks

sopssa writes "2K Games today announced that Civilization V will be using Steamworks for online matchmaking, automated updates, downloadable content and DRM for the game. Steam's Civ V store page is also available now, revealing some new information about the game. There will be an 'In-Game Community Hub' for online matchmaking, communication, and for sharing scenarios between players. While including Steamworks might put some people off, it might also indicate better online gameplay than in the previous Civilization games, where it was almost impossible to have a good game without playing with just friends."

Let me rewrite the headline

Fifth incarnation of a once great game that was boring already on version 3 is going to use DRM that requires at least periodical Internet connectivity on your gamming machine

Cracked product expected to be superior.

News at 5.

You're an idiot.

"It is not an infringment" or "it is not illegal" means that it IS legal and you have a right to it. Jesus Christ, you're just as bad as that dipshit attorney general we had. The one that argued the prohibition against removing the writ of habeus corpus in the constitution means that you don't actually have it, because it's never granted.
