That's great, but I've already signed into (and made purchases!) on mine with Facebook, so I think I'll have to stay signed in for the near future :(

Is sounds like now you will need an Oculus account that is linked to your Meta account which is then linked to your Facebook and Instagram.

Any idea if this applies to other sets like the CV1 or Rift S?

Facebook could just as easily change the policy again. Meh

For me it sounds like they are still requiring a form of login so some sort of oauth. And they probably track you with that anyway.

I believe EU laws are the main driver for this change.

As an aside, the Quest 2 would have been a break away hit, if they didn’t make the FB login a requirement last year though

You joke but that's literally what I expect.

Interesting, I didn't expect mine to unbrick itself.
