Oculus Blocks Revive in latest Update Good or Bad?

[Shadowmask72]

The latest Oculus Home update now blocks the revive injector from working so if you paid for any content that's exclusive to Oculus Home to play on the Vive you'll get an entitlement check failure message. This had been a warning anyway. For some, this is a good thing but for the open community it's perhaps not so great and will undoubtedly encourage a cat and mouse game with getting revive to work once more.

there is no logic to your post - making the Rift mandatory does not change Valve or interface standards ... it just disables mods (and not even very effectively).
In a week or four the Rift titles will appear as pirated copies that work with the Vive ... that is all that this temporary thing will achieve. And no - it is not a good thing. Because you will tempt even the honest buyers ...

Okay, I'll catch up with you as soon as Touch comes out. We'll talk about playing pirated games then. 
See if you still feel that there is justification for piracy then.

You do realize that Shadowboy is the one who started this thread with clear intent right?

Anyway winner is SteamVR/Vive. They sell games for Oculus and Vive, you can choose any HDM. After this, why I should buy games on Oculus Home, if SteamVr give me more options?

most PC games are exclusive to steam.... but no oculus who has only a few is the bad guy

/s

on a serious note... maybe we can all support a open source open VR platform that nobody owns? Revive had a chance at being that but they Fed it up

anyway im sure another patch will hit soon

[nebula77]

Anyway we all end on PS Sony VR, ref to analytics, it going to outsell oculus & vive combined... All bases belong to Sony 😉

When the PlayStation fully supports VR with the Sony headset, I'll finally own a second device.

Possibly, but it's still quite early.
