Hand Interaction

Hi we have a rhythm drum game developed for PC VR and we would like to launch it for Oculus Rift as well.

Is hand interaction functionality needed to have your game released for Oculus platform?

In our current state of the drum game. User automatically has the drum sticks in their hands while they are physically holding the motion controller.

I have heard from couple of people that oculus requires you to start your game with just hands, then pick up the drum sticks.
I just wanted to verify with the community whether this was true.

Thank you for reading :)
