Civilization V To Use Steamworks 295
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."

The thing that really sucks about this is that Civiliation has always been my go to game when my internet connection is down.
Next they will take away HOMM, and I'll be stuck talking to my family or something when internet goes down. (shudder)
