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.

This fucking headset was the only one I could afford and now theyre trying to ruin it… greeeeaat…
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.
Make a dummy one.
They make you send them your id…
No they don’t.
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.
That requirement has been removed for longer than it was in place.
Will I never picked it up again to find out.
Well now you can :)
Nah I’m good. Not really that cool anyway after a few hours.
Maybe one day I’ll get a Valve Index.
Maybe one day I’ll get a Valve Index.
But you’ve already got a Quest?
You don’t need a Facebook account. They very quickly removed that requirement.
Guess I’ll save up for the Valve one
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.
…and there goes my eagerness to buy the Q3. I loathe drm.
Oculus was dead to me the moment it was announced Facebook was purchasing them.
So glad I avoid Meta products. I doubt they will be satisfied until they can live sell your data and display ads while you use the product.
