    You don’t need a facebook account a meta account was available as an alternative. That’s great right? Much better!!!

    I don’t know if meta accounts still exist… The whole migration was a huge mess. The oculus brand was much cooler. I wouldn’t have bought my oculus quest 1 if it had been a facebook product back then.

      Facebook has owned oculus since before the CV1, but I agree it was much less intergrated and still felt like a separate brand. I’m definitely biased as fuck, but “oculus” is infinitely better than “meta”. Much better sounding name. I just made a meta account to migrate my oculus account, but I can’t find any way to do it on PC without a quest. I don’t have a quest, so I guess I’m fucked?

        Wow I wasn’t aware of that…

        You can try to contact them through the oculus meta store live chat. When I migrated they were very helpful.

      Actually yes. The problem with needing a Facebook account was that it was part of an unrelated service (social network, messenger, etc.). Meta accounts are separate accounts for VR only, much like the previous Oculus accounts.

        Makes me think…

        It really is better.

        I don’t trust them not to associate these accounts together with Facebook accounts internally. But that’s a bit conspiracyish.

          Well considering they basically did just that with Instagram and WhatsApp, it wouldn’t be surprising if they did.
