Submission + - Civilization V to use Steamworks (shacknews.com)
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 Civilization 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. Deluxe Edition purchasers will also get a bonus Babylon civilization, behind the scenes videos and a game soundtrack. While including Steamworks might put some people off, it might also indicate a better online gameplay than in the previous Civilization games where it was almost impossible to have a good game without playing with just friends."
