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.

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.
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?
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
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 :/

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.
Well considering they basically did just that with Instagram and WhatsApp, it wouldn’t be surprising if they did.

Wow I wasn’t aware of that…
You can try to contact them through the
oculusmeta store live chat. When I migrated they were very helpful.Can’t you do it in the mobile app?

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

I miss the days when you had a computer you could basically play anything with minimal BS involved.
How do I even migrate??? I can’t figure it out
I was playing Minecraft on and off since the alpha, and refused to upgrade to Microsoft account. I bought computer lego, not a Microsoft tracking app.
