No data to back that claim up. From my POV Steam still was seen as a burden in 2008 and wasn’t nearly as popular as today, pirating was still easier. I bought the game on steam around 2011/12.

IIRC the data they used was their own, that is, they seeded a pirated version onto the known suspects themselves and through the online functionality (iirc a leaderboard of creating the highest tower) were able to detect it.
