Oculus will now require a Facebook account

Those wishing to use an Oculus device will soon be required to have a Facebook account to connect to their VR profile.

From October, the Facebook-owned company will require them to of logging in through the social network platform and merging any existing Oculus accounts with Facebook accounts.

From January 2023, all non-merged Oculus accounts will close.

Anyone using an Oculus device for the first time will need a Facebook account to proceed.

"If you are already a user and choose not to merge your accounts, you can continue to use your Oculus account for two years," says Oculus in a publication announcing the change.

"If you choose not to merge your accounts at that time, you can continue to use your device, but full functionality will require a Facebook account. We will take steps to allow you to continue using content you have purchased, although we expect some games and applications to no longer work. ”

Of course, no one knows what this change will actually do to user privacy. What we do know for sure is how Zuckerberg's empire works, he continues to collect every one . VR activities will be linked to Facebook profiles, providing a much more complete profile for by experts…

Reactions are expected, but as usual nothing will change.
