There's no real name requirement for a Meta account, so it's not at all the same thing. You can tie it to a throwaway email and use a fake name.

- ArchOversight 3y agoNot entirely accurate. Facebook has locked me out of my pseudonym account and is requiring I upload a government ID to gain entry again. Thankfully it was not used for anything other than chatting with people in certain communities and I have other Facebook accounts that are also pseudonyms, but Facebook can and will sometimes require verification of an account.

- jandrese 3y agoOne of the nice things about the Quest is you can still tether it to your computer, and it does the tethering over Wifi so there are no pesky cables in the way. App support for Quest controllers on the PC side is sometimes spotty, but I've had pretty decent luck. This is where being cheap is a real advantage, lots of developers include Quest support because they are so popular. There are advantages to being on the most common system. I've gotten a bunch of VR games out of Humble Bundles that are installed on Steam and stream to the Quest 2 no problem.
