Just a questions and suggestions.

1. How much steamworks will Hunted have??

1-2. For Brink, it's product will be steamwork-able world wide. Will Hunted's steamworks world wide, too?

2. It will be great if we could have official Hunted avatars for Steam via it's official steamgroup.

3. I think fans of Hunted will also need forum signatures, from the bigger (570x125 - 1:4) to smaller (500x80 - 1:5)

I'd love an official reply to this also as I'm curious whether Hunted will integrate steamworks.

Yes I heard the rumor about this, too. Bon't not 100% sure.

NO STEAMWORK PLEASE!!!

Dunno if this is official but seems so.
Still this doesnt definetly mean that steam is the used drm, can also be an optional activation since steam has some benefits, too

It doesn't look official to me.

Bethesda Softworks most recent two releases, FONV and Brink, both require Steam activation during install, both have PC achievements through Steam, and Brink has Valve Anti-Cheat. This certainly suggests that Steamworks will be used in future titles as well but until we hear about this directly from Bethesda or InXile nothing is definite. (Note: moderators are not employees and we are not privy to details that haven't been released to the public. This is my personal speculation, nothing more.)
