What headset should I be looking at now if I don't want an account? (self.virtualreality)

I had the Oculus quest DK2 before oculus was bought by Facebook and enjoyed playing whatever people made, but the more Facebook locked everything down the less interested I became in VR.

Now you can't even play with a quest unless you have a Facebook account, and it seems so easy to get locked out of your account on purpose or accidentally.

Are there unlocked VR headsets that I can just have fun with instead of being locked into one company and their products?

Thanks

I don’t think the "your Facebook account gets banned" aspect is an issue. You don’t need a facebook account anymore, but a Meta account instead – same company ofc. So if your actual issue is Meta being behind it, that changes nothing and you probably shouldn’t buy anything from them.

But I’m not sure if there’s any headset that doesn’t require some sort of account at one point, even if it’s just a Steam account.

Okay, thanks.

I'd rather use a steam account then a meta, if those are the options
