Supreme Commander 2 Demo Arrives on Steam, Steamworks DRM Confirmed

by Brian Leahy, Feb 24, 2010 3:00pm PST

Supreme Commander 2, Chris Taylor's RTS follow-up to 2007's Supreme Commander, will be using Valve's Steamworks program for its DRM. All copies of Supreme Commander 2, digitally obtained or purchased in out-dated box form, will require an installation of Steam for validation.

Additionally, a demo of the title is now available for download through Steam ahead of the game's March 2, 2010 release date. Give it a try and if you like it go ahead and pre-order it on Steam. You'll save yourself $5. The Xbox 360 version is set to release on March 18, 2010.

    I too used to hate Steam but now I use it all the time. I realized that my complaints with it were actually complaints against DRM in general and not specific to any one client or corporate entity. The thing that really hooked me in though is the sales.... holy god damn the awesome sales they run!
