Meta sneakily introduced āPlatform Integrity Attestation APIā 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 itās 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 āplatform integrityā. Not all details are clear yet but this doesnāt look good.
Currently itās optional and up to app developers to enable it.
Who the fuck are buying shit from google and Facebook? No wonder fucking internet is going to shits
Google Pixel phones are the only phones compatible with GrapheneOS, so thereās one reason.
The quest is amazing. Itās cheap and completely standalone while also giving you the ability to use it with pc vr games.
If you got a good PC for VR the Quest is great to use. I played HL Alyx on it which was incredible.
But the DRM BS thoughā¦at this point the Pico is looking better for standalone use
