    I don’t know what’s worse. The fact that this will definitely still require a Facebook account to use. Or the fact that it will also require a Microsoft one too

      It’s possible Meta is trying to recoup their losses by selling hardware to MS.

      You haven’t needed a facebook account for the headsets for years now. They finally saw that linking the two was a horrible idea.

        You need an Oculus account though, don’t you? Different name but under the same horrid umbrella.

          no, sadly you need a Meta account, which is separate from your Facebook account. (pour one out for Oculus, such a better brand name).

          For a while it was rough, if you got a facebook ban it would block your headset. now at least they are separate, and getting banned on one doesn’t ban the other!

            Oh, right, I forgot they did the boneheaded thing of killing the Oculus name off. Baffling move tbh.
