Steam Games with a last-played date prior to August 1st, 2011 show up with a date of January 1st, 1970

Bug Description

Because of the date being pulled from Steam into Playnite, any games that were played prior to August 1st, 2011 have a Last Played date of January 1, 1970. As Steam was first available in September 12, 2003, this is an impossible date. Instead of displaying January 1, 1970, can we have the date displayed as "A long time ago"?

I'm guessing Steam just doesn't have that data prior to 2011 and returns Unix epoch time in if that happens.

That's correct. And it also occurs when you use Library → Configure Integrations → Advanced → Import Steam Last Played as well as the regular library import.
