I don't understand why Oculus, being owned by Facebook, should not be allowed to require a Facebook login. I don't like it much, but it is their company. They invested shitloads of money in it, too.

It's also not the only VR headset in town.

It is the only standalone VR headset in town that’s 1) currently supported and 2) available/affordable for individuals.

Affordable because Facebook is subsidizing it with a shitload of money. I don't think that is a good case for demanding independence from Facebook.

Also, then don't go standalone. Yeah it's a nice feature. Facebook paid for it.
