In short.... No
How does the Steam online matchmaking and Steam cloud/Steamworks features work if the game is not linked to a Steam account?

What a mess on Ubisofts behalf for not clarifying the information 100%.

Does only the version purchased from the Steam store have Steam cloud support for example?

Please note that the game will also use the Steam platform for services such as matchmaking, anti-cheat etc… So you will need a Steam account to play the game.
Who is right?

LOL

Does ms-kleaneasy actually know what she is talking about?

As I understand it you will need a steam account ONLY if you wish to fly online using the ingame browser.Cliffs Of Dover is supposed to be able to use 3rd party external lobbies(HyperLobby).So if you do not want steam then you can use the 3rd party browser.

Activation is done by Solidshield unless you d/l a Steam version in which case it is Steam activated.

I am not sure if there is a lan option.I expect there to be a straight IP to IP option.

If you only fly OFFLINE then you do not need steam.
