Ubisoft's connection-requiring has caused more than a little controversy, and now it seems as if games including the controversial copy-protection software are being dropped from Steam.

According to CVG, both II and Silent Hunter 5 have been dropped from the popular content delivery platform - bad PR surrounding the DRM to blame.

Word has it that don't want to anger their userbase by digitally delivering the problem titles, keen to hang on to their hard-won reputation for good service.

More on this as we get it.

Update: have told VG247 that the omission of these games isn't related to DRM: "The games listed are available for sale in all other countries on STEAM. The fact it is not available on STEAM has nothing to do with the DRM but is linked to a local business discussion between Ubisoft and Steam in UK."
