    I loved the CV1 oculus. The moment Facebook integration started happening I noped the fuck out of there. Also can’t stand overly proprietary environments. Acquiescence to researchers like yann lecun would be the only reason I don’t absolutely detest meta at this point.

      It would have been less bitter if they hadn’t promised that Facebook would never be required or integrated at the time Facebook bought them… just before they made it an integrated requirement.

        At least they reversed it, but they probably still waited for most people to give in and make a Facebook account. I still log in with an Oculus account.

          I have two VR systems. Neither require an account

          You shouldn’t need to log into hardware.

            While this is true, it was not in consideration during my purchase. I was not as informed at the time. I’ll wait for a time when there is a good competitor for untethered VR, that is also an appreciable difference to upgrade.

      Love my CV1. My quest 2 gets more use since it’s wireless, but I’ll never not love the CV1
