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.
Only the nerds care. There is DRM on every damn platform or there except gog and nobody cares because it works fine and they aren’t the users who just want to steal.
You hear about a shitty DRM implementation like once a year. This is all just noise from pirates.
This is such a “why does privacy matter when I have nothing to hide” argument.
God forbid my software check that it’s not stolen!
Hey did you steal that? Did you steal that? Is that stolen? No don’t block my line of sight I need to see if you stole that. Did you steal that? Did you steal that?
What a consumer experience.
And yet for most products, nobody notices nor cares.
Whatever you say.
“Noise from pirates” is bullshit. Pirates generally tend to have a better experience with their media than legal users.
Lolol 👌 Plex is definitely more consistent then Netflix 🙄
They’re plenty of people who complain about it when it doesn’t work, but they don’t know why it doesn’t work, they’re just annoyed it doesn’t.
