Romer's rule The proposal, first made by A. S. Romer, that the effect of many important evolutionary changes is to enable organisms to continue in the same way of life, rather than to adapt to a new one.

Romer's Rule is what I'm doing... selling Oculus hardware and changing my VR to a better company.
I'm upset that I have recently bought a Rift-s and that it will be mandatory that in a few years I HAVE to give up my privacy to use the Rift-s. I would NEVER have bought the Rift-s if I'd known that.
Its the principle of the matter, almost criminal in my opinion. I hope I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell I'm not.

You can use your Oculus account until January 1 2023 - in these times that's like 100 years into the future, lol 😉 In Jan 2023 RTX Series 40 may have arrived and few might be using Rift-S - or you'll long have been out of warranty and the hmd may no longer work, who knows.
I'll worry about changing my Oculus account in 2023, and I'll enjoy my dear Rift CV1 for as long as possible.

You do realize though, that you will still be forced to sign on to Facebook's anal probing next month right? Go read the new terms. I did and that's exactly what it says. You don't have to have the FB account yet but you will be having all the rest of that "great" FB stuff forced upon you which is where the rubber meets the road anyway.

Oculus has been Facebook for many years. You've been sending your data to Facebook ever since you started using a Rift hmd.

So, obviously you haven't read the new TOS. When you go read it come on back and have a discussion.
