Facebook could just as easily change the policy again. Meh

I believe EU laws are the main driver for this change.

As an aside, the Quest 2 would have been a break away hit, if they didn’t make the FB login a requirement last year though

It's crazy that they still sold that many, considering that it's not sold in Germany, one of the biggest markets in the world for them.

Was still a breakaway hit.

By break away hit, I meant more in line with Nintendo Switch sales. I doubt it's even close due to the login requirement. They lost a lot of word of mouth marketing from would-be evangelists. It's near impossible to defend Facebook / Meta.

The Facebook login was unnecessary friction since they didn't even take advantage of it from the start. It wasn't until a few months ago when I could even find my friends from Facebook.

I do love my Quest 2 though.

Absolutely a favorite in our household. Regrettable that it requires a Facebook account.

Why?
