Man it was so controversial at the time. I was on USENET gaming groups and there were a few people that worked complaining about Steam DRM into every conversation.

I found it, it was comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action, a poster named John Lewis: groups.google.com/g/…/_DO3FqVFEWwJ

I can’t believe USENET is still active and I still recognize some of the names on new posts. Spalls Hurgenson for one.
