Facebook/Oculus implements hardware DRM to prevent Vive users from playing VR titles purchased on the Oculus store
>If customers buy a game from us, I don't care if they mod it to run on whatever they want. As I have said a million times (and counter to the current circlejerk), our goal is not to profit by locking people to only our hardware - Palmer Lucky, December 2015
Is Oculus the cancer killing VR?

>fat autist is full of shit
what a surprise
Pretty sure someone made a mod so it would and they said its a-ok
It's called Revive and it's what Oculus just killed with this update. Now it checks you have a Rift connected so you can't use any other headset.
Context: Oculus added hardware DRM to their driver / store, specifically to break the vive hack. It now only works if the driver detects a connected rift
I think Palmer actually thinks that, I don't think he'd agree with the hardware DRM. I just think Facebook is fucking shit up.
>Now it checks you have a Rift connected
Is it legal in civilized countries?
>Now it checks you have a Rift connected so you can't use any other headset.
How long until it checks if you're logged in to Facebook?
hilarious. the only way oculus makes money is from their digital game store (since they take a loss on hardware sales) and now they're blocking half the VR audience from buying games
will be good to see this company go under
Are you aware that they're part of facebook? They could be giving away every rift for free and they still wouldn't go down
Man, why does money make people retarded? Is Palmer really this naive to think that people won't break this shit?
You spend money, time and man-power into something that will be walked around in a couple of days, weeks or months. Even it takes years, it completely destroys your investment into the DRM. Does he seriously believe people are gonna buy another fucking $600 toy when they already have the $900 toy?
Then he is even a bigger retard. He should have just kept his big mouth shut from the beginning. Everything he said before is quickly outed as a lie.
I'm sure the money makes it worth it being seen as a lying douchebag by the entire world. Holy shit.
If they're not gonna turn a profit, Zuckerburg is gonna kick em and sell them to Alibaba or whatever.

>it's a with jews you lose episode
Know what'd be really funny?
If they send a cease and desist to the revive mod guy
Holy shit the resulting shitstorm and delusion would be astronomical
Top kek. The market is in its infancy, severely lacking in decent products, and with none of the products available being big sellers, and now they want to split it.
Hey Sup Forums, you wanted your 1983 vidya crash?
>Palmer Lucky
Is that a real name?
Who gives a shit about Facebook Oculus trash?
Facebook as a company wont go down, but if occulus fails then the studio will be put down.
Is there any waifu simulator on vr at the moment?
Do you guys remember the people that repeated that it's fine that Facebook bought Occulus?
Do you think these people committed suicide? I hope they did.
>you didn't buy an overpriced VR headset with hardware DRM from a lying CEO
But this isnt a vidya crash, this is a stupid gimmick failing to take off while we laugh.
No, but I want to believe Japan will make it great by making loli VR eroge.
...
They dindu nuffin.
Yes. There's also a VR patch for Play Club.
I have my Rift and I'm enjoying it. Can't wait for Touch controllers so I can get room scale like Vive.
>People still blaming specific VR hardware and companies
>Still haven't realized the concept of VR is a gimmick
You better not be calling my VR waifumaid a gimmick
I'll fight you
do you feel bad for buying the inferior headset and supporting facebook?
>VR
>gimmick
Retard. Enjoy never getting to fuck lolis inside the VR magical world and killing yourself as a result.
VR is killing VR
not a single real videogame has been released on them yet
Don't see how it's inferior, everyone has been saying both headsets are equal. Quit your memes user they won't work on me.
>muh gimmick
NOBODY CARES ABOUT VR GAMES FOR FUCKS SAKE
IT'S ABOUT WAIFUS
FUCKING NORMIES I SWEAR
ok enjoy being stuck in your chair like a cripple
maybe when touch comes out you'll be able to stand up, just make sure you don't accidently turn away from zuckerburg's camera
>just make sure you don't accidently turn away from zuckerburg's camera
woah, it's like they want to go the way of 3dfx with their API
VR will die before it's even born
I have a Vive and I was going to get a Rift but canceled my old pre order long ago... Fuck Palmer and fuck Facebook. They are doing everything wrong possible to destroy VR.
Nah, they're just doing the best to milk it of all its worth before people rightfully realize it's a shit gimmick and a fad.
Everything's gone wrong! A year ago Sup Forums held hope and now it's all fucking over.
...
I hope it does kill the fad.
In America your name can be anything and it's legal.
>you will never change your name to Master Chief
>it's a shit gimmick and a fad
Can you really say that without first hand experience with it?
And thus occulus rift became the first VR- Console that couldn't even run on its own.
clappity clap.
I guess they're supporting GearVR, because it isn't their direct competitor.
>wake up
>the VR meme still isn't dead
What will it take? We know it's shit now so why aren't VRfags just giving up?
Because even vr games on Google cardboard are neat.
VR is here to stay, but it isn't a booming market. It's like when 4k tvs launched. You cant test it unless you see it in person.
Coincidentally 4k TVs are a huge meme.
Never forget
I don't know, but considering I have had first hand experience with it, it's pretty irrelevant.
Inb4 "BUT DID YOU USE THE LATEST VERSION?"
Why do you believe it's a meme? Because that's what everyone is spouting on Sup Forums?
What's this even supposed to represent?
Forget about waifu sims. When the fuck do I get to be the waifu?
Then I'll take your word for it. What didn't you like about the headset specifically? Which one did you use?
>Everything he said before is quickly outed as a lie.
I have yet to see such a thing.
Oculus killed the waifu age by selling out to Facebook.
There should be no exclusives on vr.
It will fail if everything doesnt work on every headset.
It's already failing who am i kidding
What does that mean exactly. How did they kill it? Give details.
4k isn't a meme when games are benchmarked at 4k resolution regularly.
Its just enthusiast-level consumerism. Same with projectors, graphics cards, and stereos.
4k TVs specifically are a meme. Didn't say anything about monitors.
SHOCKING NEWS: Business Man Kills Fun and Creativity in Pursuit of Profit
I hate this image
>blocked all oculus exe's so they cant do anything
>never updated since the 1st install
>no issues so far with the shit i use
Why the update?
TVs are just monitors with built-in tuners.
With a bunch of circuits that make response time awful.
blows my mind that there are cucks out there buying the rift
Are they still sending rift user information to Facebook?
WHY?
yes, it will never stop untill you block it on the firewall.
just a simple rule to avoid exit connection to bot OVRservice executables.
But as i said, it wont update, and if you need to, you will have unlock the firewall, o do a reinstall without the rules active.
Point is that at the range a typically sized TV is viewed at the differences between 1080 and memeK are unobservable or minute at best.
EXACTLY what I said was going to happen is happening. Why did no one listen to me.
