They could release the best possible VR hardware that puts your body into a dream state and allows you to experience things fully in VR for $99 and I still wouldn't touch it if meta, fb, or zuckberg has anything to do with it.
Iirc these headsets require your Facebook login to function at all?
Nope nope nope.
They fixed that. Still need to make a meta account but it's not Facebook.
Surely that is the exact same thing?
Yup its exactly the same
Yes and no. The Facebook thing was upsetting folks mainly because they would get banned from Facebook and lose their oculus.
Needing any account to use hardware I own is a 100% deal-breaker.
