Automatic Oculus Update Adds DRM

>Please keep in mind that the update is automatic, but may take a few days to propagate to all users. Thanks for your support.

The important thing here is that they are now locking Oculus software from the Oculus store to their hardware. Software that previously allowed Oculus software to run on other headsets like the vive (ReVive) no longer works. They previously said that they would never do this. Wonder what changed.

>he actually bought FaceBook goggles

dumb fucks

Good, the faster this thing is killed the better. That way. FB will be known as the cancer it is.

bump

This kills the OR. Ups sorry the price already did that.


>We knew from day one they will do this so do not act surprised. That they stated otherwise only confirmed it. VR is dead.

I TOLD YOU DAWG
I TOLD YOU ABOUT ZUCKERBERG

What can't Jewkerberg do?

Sup Forums is NOT for porn goggles

get a PS4 or a laptop that can run League if you are into that and be done with it

fucking Sup Forumsermin

I think very little people besides Sup Forums visitors will actually care about this.

They will care once devs say fuck it and move on from the OR.
They will care once porn is banned.

Good.

Poor Carmack senpai ;_;

Palmer, you fucking retard. VR headsets shouldn't be game consoles.

>tfw vive is literally the only choice now unless Oculus does a massive about-face

I'm still hoping for a greater VR open standard, but OSVR isn't really going anywhere at the moment. Maybe in another couple years.

>berg
Sup Forums was right yet again.

Carmack's doing fine. The GearVR is his baby, and getting Minecraft on it was probably one of his proudest moments.

Now that Daydream's launching, though, I wonder what they're thinking. Unless the IMUs end up being incredibly subpar in comparison to the Gear, I think they're fucked.

As a Gear user myself, I'm kind of fucked. The already low amount of software support we're getting is only going to get worse.

>Ups
Und warum bist du noch wach? Du sollst ins Bett gehen. Es ist doch spät.

>everyone is trying to make their own proprietary VR headset

Bist du sauer?

Natürlich. Ich nutze Sup Forums... Eine bessere Frage ist, wann bin ich NICHT sauer?

Sie sind verrückter als die meisten, wenn Sie glauben, ich bin ein Deutsch Teenager und nicht ein spanisches user mit Google Translate .

"VR" is going to bomb so fucking hard

I'm not surprised, most of the developers that have their stuff on the Oculus Store accepted financial and technical assistance from Facebook in exchange for keeping their stuff Oclulus exclusive, so I can't really blame them for wanting to keep that exclusivity.

>They previously said that they would never do this
Their license agreement clearly says this since day 1 and long before the Facebook takeover. Oculus was always intended as a closed platform despite what the kickstarter's talk of openness suggested.

Fanboys didn't want to hear it back then. Now they finally wake up

>expecting anything but constant user-rape from kykebook

THIS IS AN AMERICAN BOARD.

Take your arab-speak elsewhere.

Carmack at Valve when

Rift was DOA, Facebook just didn't know they had killed it yet.

But that's ger- ohhhh haha.

>going to

You take that back right now or else!

Blunder of the century

this is probably a dumb thing to say in this thread

but honestly I'm gonna look back and laugh at posts like yours in five, ten years when everyone wants an HMD

I mean, just wait until apple rolls out their mobile VR solution. normies will eat that shit up.

So glad I got a Vive. This just speeds up people cracking their DRM altogether for every game on Home. Dumbshits.

They trust
dumb fucks

Notice I said VR not AR, when Apple rolls out augmented reality glasses things are going to take off

Zuck the Cuck

Zuck === RAT

>early adopters
lel
thanks for beta testing

Oh no, so now I, an Oculus Rift owner, experience no change, but HTC Vive users can no longer use Oculus software? I sure am upset about this, forsooth, woe is me.

No need to thank me. The porn has been worth the price alone and I already made $2,000 reselling these things. More than paid for itself.

Now everyone is going to think you are even more of a cuck than you already were.

It means you paid for games on a dead platform. Oculus Home will be a failure because of stupid practices like this.

Next step is blocking games that weren't purchased from the Oculus store. Don't think that Cuckerberg won't do this.

Also, Valve comes out of this looking like the "good guys" as long as they don't do something equally retarded.

I've never giggled at a photo on here like I giggled at that one.

> Software that previously allowed Oculus software to run on other headsets like the vive (ReVive) no longer works.

But if it worked before, then it still does since it's the other headsets running the software to begin with?

You'd just have to crack them to continue to do it.

It's the Oculus Home software that now detects if a Oculus headset is connected to it and through some form of protection. This wasn't the case before.

Also the ReVive dev doesn't want to circumvent any game DRM that could lead to piracy. Otherwise you legitimize Oculus' attempts to block it.

Eh, somebody will make a workaround eventually.

obviously
but this decision just shows the path they are taking with the oculus, which was previously obvious to everyone who wasn't a FB shill, but now even the shills can't deny it

What's wrong with his eyes, They seem off?

>they fell for the vr meme
I'll be laughing my ass off together with my holowaifu when this headset meme finally dies.

Well memed.
Bad business practices breed success. See; Microsoft, Nvidia.
>slippery slope

No arguments then?

>Bad business practices breed success

Except here it's just bad no matter how you look at it. Oculus doesn't know their market. They're going for a walled garden approach because they think this headset will appeal to normies, why they included a worthless remote and xbox controller, when it's a niche product. Daydream will kill Oculus Home before they can figure out that mobile is the only place this will work and SteamVR will live on as the monopoly on PC.

I can only imagine the asshurt the idiots that the early adopters are, must have

You live in a 50% black shithole which worships nigger culture and homosexual degeneracy and also blackwashes it's own """history""". It's hilarious how you are blind to this because you wish it wasn't true. 50% is over a 100million niggers btw.

...

Good for them and us for showing their true intentions from the get-go.

>The porn has been worth the price
LOL

Yeah, too bad Hitler failed in his conquest.

Did anyone honestly expect anything else from the cunt? I said from day 1 that I won't be paying him a penny of my money and I'm glad I stood by it.

This. I knew this would happen, but now all the nay-sayers will finally get it too.

nope are you living under a rock? its already a 20 billion dollar industry.

>When white people and Jews unite

Proof that white people are just as ethically corrupted, backstabbing, and greedy as your run in the mill megajew

NEVER trust whites nor Jews

Hope you mouthbreather crackers get eye cancer from using or supporting oculus
