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.

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.

Facebook has owned oculus since before the CV1, but I agree it was much less intergrated and still felt like a separate brand. I'm definitely biased as fuck, but "oculus" is infinitely better than "meta". Much better sounding name. I just made a meta account to migrate my oculus account, but I can't find any way to do it on PC without a quest. I don't have a quest, so I guess I'm fucked?

Can't you do it in the mobile app?

[–] thomasdouwes@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

I actually figured it out trying to login to the app, I just needed to login to meta with my oclulus account credentials and it migrated it, not the most obvious thing. I like how the app constantly asks for location permission despite me not having a quest to pair it to. Also I find it funny that they care so little for the CV1 it shows a rift S for its picture lol
