Now that the new owners of Oculus have monopolized anything to do with
the social side of the Oculus system and basically ended about 50% of the
reason people bought the product in the first place. (being able to join and play with friend)
I believe and some legal advisers have stated because no alternative was
put in place for those who will not be forced to make a Facebook account and
because when the produced was purchased no mention of this was conveyed to the
purchaser. The product as a result is now less than the product that was
originally purchased and a refund on not only the product but also any software
that is also impacted by way of not being able to join, find or engage with
friends.
This class action law suit if supported by enough purchasers of one of
the Oculus systems will send a strong message to manufactures that monopolizing
products after selling will be a costly exercise.
A simple fix to this would be to reinstate the original system and
provide a Facebook alternative for those that choose it.

Pro Tip: A Forum Post is NOT a Class Action Lawsuit.
