Well the article says
"As revealed earlier this week, Driver: San Francisco is the latest Ubisoft PC title to demand users only play when they have an internet connection"
And here http://store.steampowered.com/app/33440/ is the link to purchase said 'Driver: San Francisco' on Steam
So either Ubisoft have their own DRM in addition to also publishing via Steam, in which case the article is misleading or they just have no idea about what you can and can't do with Steam!
So there!
