They existed then, but just hadn't "made it big," yet.
For reference sake, I haven't bought a D&D book in 20 years, but I still have a RPG collection about the size of the D&D catalog (more than 200 books + my PDF collection) due to the number of other RPG's out there.
And I'm still of the notion that "anti-piracy" excuse is a pile of monkey-poo. This is entirely about market control. Wizards/Hasbro wants to be able to control who sells what rpg and has introduced a new online sales policy with what appear to be some significant anti-competitive intent behind it to achieve that control.
