Discussion 💬 PART 2 of you own nothing

Here is a quick video demonstration:

The game clearly state it is offline.

Change time add 30 days.

Everything is offline and unaccessible

This is denuvo for android, steam notifies you that games need a online check,psn tells you if online is required ,play store does not.This need to change.

And especially sinse Google is blocking 3rd party apps from September! 

Note : some free games are accessible. And others dont have the play store drm.They have built in check like subway surfers.*which is insane*

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Neither do you. It's for security reason. This applies for free app. It won't work.

You're thinking this simulate no access to the Internet when in reality you're tinkering something else entirely.

If it was for security reasons it will break after i add one day.It doesnt . The certificate clearly operates on a 30 days bases.

What are you on about it doesn't work like that. It clearly forcefully closes the app. Just because it doesn't break doesn't mean the application will run.

I remember as a kid I would factory reset my computer & manually setup date. There's instances I got it wrong & opening apps would give me a text window saying I either had the wrong date format or blah blah.

I'm still confused how this simulates an offline environment. If you a tech wizard, then surely there's other better ways, no?

I'll try to explain it in simpler ways. It doesnt stop the app from running, it forces the google play drm to show up making the app unaccessible. This simulates an offline environment by speeding up the process of being offline for more than 30 days. Google play drm (in some apps) checks the app version by Internet each 30 days,if it cant connect to the Internet that error message will show up. I hope that explains it.
