    How is this legal? Feels ridiculous to lose games I paid for just because I didn’t migrate my account. Same with the Microsoft minecraft account migration. When I bought my CV1 there was the promise that I would not need a facebook account.

      This is why I buy physical or steam, even though steam is a copout lol. Steam has never let me down

        Yep, I wish I bought all my VR games from steam, but I bought a few from oculus when I first bought the headset. Also some games are oculus exclusive :/

          I miss the days when you had a computer you could basically play anything with minimal BS involved.

      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.

        Actually yes. The problem with needing a Facebook account was that it was part of an unrelated service (social network, messenger, etc.) that you couldn’t separate. 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.
