minus-squaredan1101linkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoMan 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: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action/c/EiQO3AOHanE/m/_DO3FqVFEWwJ I can’t believe USENET is still active and I still recognize some of the names on new posts.
