I started my Oculus Quest a couple days ago after a small hiatus, and it forced me to create a Meta account and set up a Horizon profile. Looks like Zuck is pushing really hard for his Metaverse thing. Ah, yes please, I would love to be in a VRChat universe flavored with all that Facebook goodness, I can't think of a better way to use my headset.

that's pretty much the only thing the quest is capable of running

  Pretty much. Though you can play anything if you have a link, which is my case. There are other alternatives like the Index, but they are way more expensive.

  Steam VR doesn’t count? I had to do some hackiness but now it works wirelessly for me, no link cable needed.

Forcing me to sign up with my IRL account was the no.1 reason I avoided the oculus. I don't want fb tracking me roleplaying as a catgirl or doing some other degenerate activity with my 3D avatar and "accidentally" leaking data to advertisers or worse, family and friends. With their track record, Facebook is the last company I'll trust with my data. No wonder they had no issue rebranding with such a lousy reputation.

I had a similar experience. I dusted off my Oculus Quest the other day thinking of revisiting some of the games I like there and seeing how well they had aged. Immediately was prompted to create a Meta account and no longer had access to all the games I had purchased or installed years prior. Tossed it right back in the bin it had been collecting dust in, which will likely change to the trash fairly soon.

Zuck has to push, otherwise he's out. He can't gracefully abandon the Metaverse after spending $12B and literally rebranding the company. Metaverse will either succeed, or Zuck will be sidelined.
