Meta sneakily introduced “Platform Integrity Attestation API” which basically calls home to see whether the user has a valid license to play.
This means that to run apps user has to have online connection to perform an integrity test. Whether it’s only a test on launch or continues call home like Denuvo-like DRMs is not yet clear. This could also mean that modified headsets could fail to pass this test essentially closing down the device for modifications that could damage “platform integrity”. Not all details are clear yet but this doesn’t look good.
Currently it’s optional and up to app developers to enable it.
No fucking way I’ll consider buying one now.
My consideration was off the table after Facebook bought Oculus.
Or be like me. Get one then Meta buys the company. Z_z
Bad luck man. I would have bought a rift if Facebook didn’t ruin it.
I always wanted one, but when they made it a requirement to have and link a Facebook account to use it I completely lost interest.
I have one. Not long after I bought it, it became a brick because it forced a software update that forced a Facebook sign in to use it.
Make a dummy one.
They make you send them your id…
No they don’t.
They took that out a while ago, that’s when I picked up the Quest 2. Honestly, it’s the best PCVR headset out there, and this article has nothing to do with PCVR, just their own platform. This won’t affect your ability to pirate PCVR games at all.
It seems (seemed) like a pretty good vr headset…just it’s owned by one of the worst companies and I have no interest paying them hundreds for that level of access to my personal information.
Guess I’ll save up for the Valve one
Or just pay $20 for one of the ones that you stick your phone in.
My phone always overheated with those
