At the start of February, Twitter announced that it will end support for free access to Twitter API. This will affect many services utilizing the API, including HoloEarth.

HoloEarth is a virtual space, metaverse, created by COVER corp. It’s an ongoing project, and a Beta version is currently available to the public.

For account registration to access HoloEarth, Twitter is one of the options (Google and Apple being alternatives) for the account creation and login process.

However, because of the recent announcement to end free API access, some changes may be made to login procedures in HoloEarth.

They are considering their options and response after an official statement is made on the matter.

For now, HoloEarth advises linking your account using methods other than Twitter.

Twitter社よりサービス間連携を行う仕組みの有料化について発表がありました。対応については正式発表後に検討いたします。
念のため、アカウント詳細画面からTwitter以外の方法でのアカウント連携をお願いいたします。
ご不便おかけいたしますが、ご協力のほどよろしくお願いいたします。#ホロアース

·         Click ‘Settings and privacy’

·         In the Settings list, click on ‘Security and account access’ to expand the sub-menu

·         Click ‘Apps and sessions’
