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 :(
What if you hard reset it ?

Re: Oculus Quest is removing the Facebook account requirement
#13Facebook account will become meta account. Oculus will transition to meta account. There will be no difference.
Re: Oculus Quest is removing the Facebook account requirement
#14> During the recent Facebook outage, certain Oculus devices were effectively rendered useless due to their inability to connect to the larger Facebook platform. It’s unclear if that specific incident is partially to blame for this change.
No, it's absolutely clear that this has nothing to do with the outage. WhatsApp and Instagram were down too. Their infrastructure does not care if the parent corp is called Facebook or Meta.

#15Zuck going "all in" with VR headsets and FacePlant.

Hard reset would log you out, but the more significant question is “are my existing purchases tied to my FB account?”
Re: Oculus Quest is removing the Facebook account requirement
#17Great news! Mandatory Facebook account was a massive "own goal".
I can't believe it took this long for the policy to be reversed.
The damage to Oculus among enthusiasts was huge. But I guess the Oculus brand is going away anyway leaving just 'Meta' and 'Quest'.

No, this would be an Oculus-specific account. There are enough legitimate criticisms of Facebook that we don't have to go around inventing false ones.
Edited to cite the announcement transcript[1]:
> And as we’ve focused more on work, and frankly, as we’ve heard your feedback more broadly, we’re on making it so you can log into Quest with an account other than your personal Facebook account.
> ... I know this is a big deal for a lot of people. Not everyone wants their social media profile linked to all these other experiences.

I’d assume this is the case, but is there actually any evidence either way, or are we all just speculating?

Index: €1100 + the cost for a VR-capable PC, if you don't already have one
Quest 2: €350, standalone
They're not really in the same class at all.
