Meta introduces new anti-piracy measures for Meta Quest 2
mixed-news.com
Meta introduces a new API that performs hardware and application checks, targeting piracy among other things.

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.

    I’m just waiting for the Psvr2 jailbreak. The index is nice, but their choice of display really leaves a lot to be desired. I far preferred even the slightly smeared look of my Odyssey+ to the Index, though the index’s tracking was miles ahead of my Odyssey. PSVR is the best headset on the market, but not worth my time unless it can be used forPCVR.
