Quick video on the lifting of the DRM measures that Oculus had in place for their software. In Summary, the DRM checked to see if a RIFT was plugged in. If no Rift was found it would refuse to load the game. Applications like Revive now work again.

Why did Oculus finally roll back to their initial anti-DRM stance?! What does this mean for us the end consumer?

End of video is a quick update on my Vive situation. In summary, The Seattle escalation department has sent me a tracking number for my new HMD and a return label for my defective one. Also with my Rift coming it should be a great content week coming up.

Cheers!

UPDATE: Here is a current Revive compatibility list: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/wiki/Compatibility-list
