I was able to sign up for oculus, not Facebook.
I got emails about a change in account stuff & I was able to keep my oculus account and not sign up for Facebook.
Can new customers only sign in through Facebook???? Seems like a very bad idea...
I'm in the same boat you are, but:
> If you choose to continue using your Oculus account, you’ll be covered by our updated Oculus Terms of Service and Oculus Privacy Policy, which we previewed last month. After January 1, 2023, we will end support for Oculus accounts
That boat will finally arrive at Facebook in two years. Two years is a long time for a bit of tech, but for me, the bigger deal is any money I've sunk into the Oculus ecosystem will go up in smoke then.
That was the primary reason I started gaming mostly on Steam via Rift, and am looking to replace the headset completely now.
(Helping this decision were things like downloading custom songs in Beat Saber is just easier on the desktop.)
