X Corp. 865 FM 1209 Building 2 Bastrop, TX 78602



Came on Friday, the story so far is that I had to sign up for Facebook in order to run my Oculus 2 (that was what I was told). signed up for it years ago then X came along so did the same for that and deleted my Facebook Account.

I wrote my reply, being extremely polite and informed them that at no time have I ever used either Facebook or even X and that some-one had obviously highjacked my account. If I can run my Oculus 2 without either account, then please feel free to delete them both as I never use social media past, present or future, my only accounts are with Flight Simulation Forums!!

Could Trump be having a purge of foreign memberships?

Nigel.

Do you live in Gay Street, Nigel?
Have you ever bought a Gaytime ice cream on your bank card?

Definitely not Mike. One thing I cannot stand is all of this diversity crap flying around and how we are expected to accept it.

I could say more but some people have actually been arrested here in the UK by the thought police for making innocent remarks.

We are no longer a free speech country.
Nigel.

I'm not sure I follow what's going on here. Why did you have to sign up with Facebook or X in order to use a VR head set ?

Probably because the VR manufacturers didn't bother to set up their own contact system so were relying on Facebook and/or Twatter to inform people of updates, bugs, etc. or to answer support questions.

It happens a lot with smaller companies apparently where they use unsocial media as a customer service access point.

Bang on Larry, I was informed that to use Oculus Quest 2 I had to have an account on Facebook otherwise it will not work.

Just had a lookup on this to see if an account is still required:

You won't be required to use Facebook to log in to Meta Quest. If you're new to Meta Quest, you'll create a Meta account as part of the setup process. If you currently use a Facebook account to access your headset, you'll need to set up a Meta account to continue using your headset.


Nigel.

But Meta is the parent company of Farcebook (along with InstaSpam, WhatsCrap and Mess-enger) so it's still the same game under a different name.

A quick Google search confirms that Oculus was bought out by Facebook/Meta in 2014 hence why you have to sign on to their crappy social media platform to use it. Wheels within wheels to control what you can or can't do!

I guess I won't be buying any VR stuff from them as I don't do ANY social media at all. My only online interactions are on three FS related forums (here, SOH and FS Developer)!

Meta (Facebook corp) own the Occulus rights and the Quest 2 & 3 are part of that family. No Meta account - No Quest operation!

Reminds me of the tale of a Yorkshire chap being bothered by Farmer Giles. He went into a chemist's and asked "Does tha sell a*s* cream? and the reply was "Aye, lad - Cornetto or Gaytime?"

OKay, well, I'm on Facebook, but I won't be buying anything that's connected to them.
