How exactly does this address the privacy concerns underlying the previous model? They still require me to have a “social” profile. I never agreed to that when I bought my Oculus Rift back in 2016. In effect, my Rift remains bricked unless I agree to have a presence in their dystopian Metaverse. No thank you!

Have you turned on your device in the past year? Social/FB profiles haven't been required for Rift/CV* for a few years at this point.

Small counterpoint, you're not able to do some social things without signing in (I have a Rift on permaloan from a friend who bought an Index).

You're right I don't _need_ to sign in, but I wish I could chat/ compete with friends. I can even receive friend requests, but I can't accept them.

It's not a huge deal, but the FOMO push to sign into FB is a bummer each time I use it.
