You can put the game into its own time namespace.

Good bot
Are you really a bot?
Thanks for asking. Not sure how I toggled that on...
I don't have an answer for you (other than outright changing the system time, but I'm sure you're after a more elegant solution). I'm really curious about these circumstances though - why would the developers do that?
Yeah, before 2000 would make sense. Before 2038 would make sense. But specifically May 2020? That feels like an intentional choice to me... but why?
Right? That's a super arbitrary number that has to be intentional.
A licence that expires?
This is the gta iv dodi repack. I didnt have this problem with fitgirls but it errors when installing
I would have thought OP wanted an achievement in The Stanley Parable (5 years without playing), but they'd need to redo their math in that case...
This might actually make the most sense, or at least something along those lines.
Time namespaces may be the best bet if you also need to run other tools with the same time configuration alongside the game.
For quick one-offs, there's libfaketime with the faketime command. I'm not 100% sure that this will work with things like Wine but it should be relatively easy to test.
I tried putting faketime before the lutris command in the .desktop file but i still couldnt save
You can look up the man page for date. I'm not sure if that'll do, but it's pretty easy. Something like date --set="1 MAY 18:00:00" as root.
