Yup, was just Steam DRM. There's universal tools to crack that. Less so "you can't play our game unless you spend money" and more "it's slightly inconvenient to install this way, innit? Why don't you go buy it instead, bruv?"

I sometimes say that Steam is the best DRM; most advantages for the least inconveniences.
