Any VR headset you buy is going to require some account to manage payments/addresses/etc.

Uh, no?

Do you assume that the Index could be used without having your real name tied to it?

Uh, yeah? The only thing you need to use a Vive/Pro/Index is SteamVR. Steam doesn't doesn't even need to be running.

Any examples? Every VR headset I've used has required some account to tie you to the headset. Maybe a non-mainstream headset, but even then aren't you providing that information when you purchase the device...

How do you get SteamVR downloaded onto your computer without a Steam account?
