This means that to run apps user has to have online connection to perform an integrity test. Whether it's only a test on launch or continues call home like Denuvo-like DRMs is not yet clear. This could also mean that modified headsets could fail to pass this test essentially closing down the device for modifications that could damage "platform integrity". Not all details are clear yet but this doesn't look good.

Currently it's optional and up to app developers to enable it.

Aaaaaaaaaand just like that, never buying a Facebook headset. Also because apparently they firmware updated to requiring a Facebook account.

Meh.

I'll go valve index 2.0

I think this is wrong, at least on the quest 2, this used to be the case, but they got rid of this requirement I think a year or so ago.

If you have a source, pls provide it.

Didn't they just change to require meta account instead?

I dunno, I just remember reviewers discussing it. I don't have facebook. But looks like they did in fact ditch the facebook account requirement.... in favor of meta accounts https://www.tomsguide.com/news/meta-just-removed-facebook-login-requirement-for-quest-headsets-what-you-need-to-know
