Topic: Civilization V To Use Steamworks

[sam]

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.
