I don't get that part: "Finally, if you buy the physical version of the game, there will be no need to download anything additional in order to play the game. An internet connection will be required to activate the game, and for online play, but that is it. The game only uses SteamWorks for match-making and not the Steam DRM."

So the Steam program isn't needed, cause that would be an additional program?

Yes, he is saying that steam isn't required if you buy a physical copy of the game. Or you can assume if you DL the game from any vendor other than steam, steam won't be required.

Makes me happy, as it falls as the best of both worlds. Available on steam for those that like that service, and not requiring steam for those of us who would rather not.


Good news indeed!
