Meta will delete all non-migrated Oculus accounts in March - The Verge

You have to make a Meta account instead.

Gee. Remember the last time Meta lied about this sort of thing? I remember.

When Meta bought Oculus, I boxed up my OG Rift and threw it in the basement, and bought a Reverb G2. I'd rather be tied to a dead platform (WMR) than Meta. Fuck Meta, and fuck Facebook. Don't buy their products, don't give them your data, don't give them a dime.

When Meta bought Oculus, I boxed up my OG Quest and threw it in the basement,

Meta (at the time it was still just named Facebook) bought Oculus before they ever released a retail product. Facebook bought them between the release of the original dev kit on Kickstarter and the dk2 in 2014. They had already been owned by Facebook for 2 years when the first Retail Rift came out in 2016. The first Quest didn't come out until 2019, 5 years after Facebook/Meta bought Oculus.

For the story to make sense, I'm guessing that the person you're responding to meant OG Oculus or OG Rift as in the development kit.

You're right, I'm not sure why I put Quest. I've never owned a Quest, that came out long after I ditched them.
