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.

[-] CanadianCorhen@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

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.
