This doesn't affect using it as a PC VR headset though, does it?
Because that's the only reason I was thinking of waiting for a Quest 3 instead of buying a Pico, anyways.
Considering it's for existing and future stuff, things could change later on and it break pc functionality. I'm not sure to actually answer your q though
No, not at all, it's strictly on their platform and that's not going to change, because they physically can't install DRM onto your PC's existing non-oculus apps. And no, even though people in this thread are claiming it, they won't stop PCVR integration because that would be suicide for their VR headset. Honestly this is just the way gaming systems are going now, new releases on Steam all have Denuvo, which is even worse.
Anyone who gets a different headset to "avoid DRM" is going to be very disappointed when they see PCVR games released with DRM.
No, not yet anyways. But Meta is clearly on a quest to lock-down the devices that started out rather free so it's really just a matter of time.
Lol no they aren't, they have zero plans to cut out PCVR integration and even if they secretly did that would be suicide for their VR headset.
I use a quest headset for PCVR and my advice would be just don’t. Their software treats this use case as a second class citizen and it shows. I haven’t been able to play online in weeks because since the last update the link decides to completely drop after 15-30 minutes of use.
Get virtual desktop, it's a must for PCVR on Oculus devices
