Whats the difference?

Not having a facebook profile? That's assuming we don't instead have a meta profile.

Still not getting a Oculus product since it still requires a Fakebook even if it's under a different name.

My next VR headset if I decide to get one will probably be a Vive or that HP one people seem to rave about.

I don't give a monkey's which account I need to sign in to, the simple fact that a gaming peripheral requires an account in order to use it is the real problem.

"Oh look, I just bought a new Corsair gaming headset, let's just sign into my Corsair account so I can actually hear something through it..."

Idiotic.

My entire issue with having to sign into FB or Meta is that the entire company makes it's money mining your data and targeting you with ads.

We all know damn well that while using Oculus they will be recording, logging, and noting everything you play, say, do, and everything in between which will then be passed through their algorithms and subsequently passed onto advertisers as well. I know you have some control on the privacy side of things, but you can't control everything they mine about you, they will mine it because you agreed to their privacy policy beforehand which allows them to do so.

This is exactly where the issue lies for me. Why the hell should I fork out the money for the headset only to have them mine my data so they can sell it off to make even more money throughout the time you use that device.
