I don't think this downplays Oculus, but they also announced today that they are going to start scaling back Facebook integration with Oculus and start allowing other login methods besides Facebook.

Unfortunately outside of Tweets, this is the best story I found on it at the moment: https://www.ign.com/articles/oculus-facebook-requirement-end...

Keep in mind he used very specific working "personal facebook account" and just announced a new company name 'Meta.'

To me that points to a 'log in with Meta' option.

which is probably an improvement if they're kept totally separate from facebook

I'd imagine it's not that hard to tie a "Meta" user back to a "Facebook" user. Seems like it's all just for PR.

Yeah, color me skeptical until I can create a meta account without a cell phone and without an fb account.
