Korneel van 't Land sent us a new press release informing the community Arma 3 will be a Steam exclusive.
Contrary what some people seem to believe this does not mean you can not buy a physical copy of the game, that will of course still be possible (but will depend on your region) or other digital distributions.
You will be given different options to buy the game, however Steam will be needed to run in the background to be able to play Arma 3.
Also an offline mode will be supported!

We would like to thank all people who informed us about this latest news and also thank all people who posted their concerns what this could mean for all different community efforts.
Thanks to Fr3eMan, RyanHunter24, MissileMoose, DaOarge and Blackheart_Six.
