??/??/94 build (Doom II SHAREWARE)

I managed to found more footage of the lost Doom II builds and cleaned it up a little bit so it's more visible and sharper. I don't know who recorded themselves playing the builds to begin with, but I suspect it's one of the Id Software employees.
What's interesting about this build is that Id took a different approach with their shareware. Contrary to the Doom sharewares, the Doom II sharewares would've actually contained all the data of Doom II itself, just locked away into the .EXE which would've taken Id Software to activate remotely to "give" the customers an unrestricted copy of Doom II without having to install the game again. Assuming it was John Carmack who programmed that, he was and still is ahead of his time.
The shareware build of Doom II allowed the player to experience up to MAP07 normally. If the player somehow went past MAP07 into MAP08, the engine checked to see if the copy of the game is legitimate after some time loading into MAP08.
It's unknown why the Doom II shareware never saw the light of day, along with all evidence of this feature even existing stripped away from the IWAD and source code in its entirety. Perhaps it's the intrusiveness and possible controversy of requiring an internet connection (early DRM?) to verify the game. But personally, I'm just thankful they abandoned the shareware totally.
Edit: It appears that there are at least two different people who recorded these videos. This person playing is NOT the same person in the 7/16/1994 build video.

Every copy of DOOM II: Hell on Earth is personalised.

Oddly enough a few areas look better in this version than the actual release.

This reminds me of the Anti-Piracy memes back in late 2020 to early 2021.
But afterall, the pirates will have to take days just to remove that anti-piracy message from DOOM 2, also if this happend the Developers will have a hard time to remove the Anti-Piracy also.
