At the time, Oculus said the update wasn't targeted at the workaround, and was instead trying "to curb piracy and protect games and apps that developers have worked so hard to make.
Curbing piracy is not their fucking job. Their job is to provide a piece of hardware that I, a developer, can talk to over APIs to show the user running my code stuff. Their job is making hardware at a price point that covers their staff growth and innovation while shipping as many units as possible. Their job is making sure that users don't get sick using their hardware.
This kind of shitty heavy-handed behavior is what is slowing down AR and VR tremendously. This nascent industry needs to return to its hobbyist roots--there isn't even a golden goose worth killing yet. Jesus fuck.
