Steam is moving toward a system where the game client does not trust the local machine at all, instead requiring periodic live pings to the authentication server.

Demo/Time-Locked Content: Some developers use Steam’s backend to distribute timed demos or beta clients that expire. Technically, GreenLuma can be used to "re-unlock" these expired clients. However, even this gray area violates Steam's Subscriber Agreement.
