Meta announces always online DRM for all existing and future Quest VR devices (mixed-news.com)

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.

Thanks. I've had it for 10 years now and I'm on a good regimen of pharmaceuticals that deal with the vast majority of pain, but my face is still too sensitive to have anything on it for more than about 5 minutes. Sorry to hear you're dealing with nerve pain yourself and I hope you find a solution that will at least help.
