Apple can delete purchased movies from your library without telling you

I found out the hard way that you can't play a single Steam game if you haven't connected it to the internet in 30 days.

Nothing clarifies the difference between purchase and rental when you try booting Steam up on a laptop for a 12 hour bus ride across Mexico and you can't play a single game.

You just have this "meh, hasn't affected me" mindset.

Wouldn't adjusting the system's clock circumvent this?

I do agree with your point that this is a bad thing in the first place.

That's the first thing I tried but it didn't work. Maybe it would've worked before I booted Steam in the first place, but you'd think Steam would've coded around that obvious circumvention.

I might be wrong, but don't modern TPMs have their own internal clocks to prevent exactly this?
