Meta should be aware that hackers have ported exclusive Quest games to Pico

Recently, many exclusive Quest games have been ported to Pico by some hackers, with about dozens of them, including Just Dance, which was just released a few days ago, and Bonelab. Meta should pay attention to this matter. For example, technology methods such as game file encryption prevent exclusive games from being ported.

It's beginning to look like you're just promoting the Pico and the porting of exclusive games... in the guise of indignation. If that's what you're doing, I suggest this forum isn't the right place to do it.

Also, please follow the forum rules and post within the thread that already exists. Stop creating new threads on this subject.

Thanks

Calm down,bro. That’s kind misunderstanding me.

 My intention is to inform you, as official personnel, of what has happened and hope that you will report this matter to your superiors and take some actions regarding it.

 That’s why there was a  tag here after that context.

if I’m the one that trying to promote something like above, then, there was no reason I bought a quest 3 even though there is no any after-sales support.

by the way, about my attitude of the thing, indignation is true, but to the guise, doesn’t exists.

I completely understand that your intensions are good, but you also have to understand that posting may have the affect of promoting the very thing you're informing about, whether you intend for that to happen or not. Especially if it's in multiple threads, some without context.

Also, just for info, I'm not official personnel, just an MVP. I'm pretty sure Meta are aware of what's happening.

Personally, I think the level of priority that Meta give this will depend on what's possible for them to do... can they get the porter's information? are they in a country that gives Meta the ability to take action?

Also, how much of a threat this is. Are the headsets competing? currently the Pico is a small volume seller helped in part from restrictions of sales in the US, also Canada and Australia I believe. China is its biggest market and it's a big country but even so, Steam usage appears to show its userbase is a small fraction of that of Meta's headsets.

Meta definitely need to deal with it and I'd be totally surprise if they weren't, but as I say it's gong to be mainly down to what's possible... who do Meta take action against and how? and what the level of threat is.

Having hacked copy of games wouldn't be a reason for me to buy a Pico... it would be a reason for me not to. Not least because of security issues.

I understand. If you want, you can delete those things that you consider to be promoting.

and does there have any official member in the forums? plz let me know, I’ll tag them by myself 

No worries, I think the posts are fine and if they're in one place, no-one can misinterpret the context.

The forum moderators are identified with 'MOD' next to their names and usually 'Meta Quest Support' as their title. @MetaNinjaTurtle edited the original thread, probably in order to add tags to it, but I expect several other mods read through most.. or all of these.
