Let's see if we can get some more votes - this is an interesting topic - I took the liberty to address more Oculus VR users (also since few may read our posts in here):
https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/ih1gfk/poll_from_the_official_oculus_forum_should_a/
Oculus Rift CV1, Valve Index & PSVR2, Asus Strix OC RTX™ 3090, i9-10900K (5.3Ghz), 32GB 3200MHz, 16TB SSD

The poll for a Facebook account being optional has gained another 7 votes since this morning when it was stood at 78. The other votes have remained the same.

I think VR needs more people who are social. This whole idea that VR is only about gaming, and targeting those who rather engage in Single-Player experiences is self-defeating for VR as both a platform and industry. If VR remains a gaming platform, then it will take decades for it to thrive; as it cannot compete with the onslaught of Mobile Games and existing AAA titles across standard vanilla PC and Console.
Facebook and Oculus have been showcasing their future ideas for VR for years. With videos about how it will change the way people interact and work.
Facebook never once said that they bought Oculus in order to... dominate the video game space. Just because this first phase of VR attracted gamers doesn't mean that VR is limited to gamers, or should continue catering to gamers.
It's time for VR to grow up, and put the big boy pants on! Those pants don't fit everyone.
🙂
There are plenty of good social vr experiences around, VRChat, pokerstars VR etc etc . They just aren't made by facebook and frankly give me a social experience that isn't oculus only or gatekept by Zuckerberg any day of the week.
Apparently not THIS day of the week, because here you are actively engaging in a Social Experience on the Official Oculus forum, which is 100% Oculus and Gatekept by Zuckerberg.
As I've said before, this is why Facebook can make these decisions with confidence. Because people will accept it anyway. Some accept it with a reasonable approach, others accept it with anger. Acceptance, however, seems inevitable.

So what that I post on this forum and its run by facebook?

Thanks for the feedback @Zenbane - I was close to deleting my Reddit post, does feel like exposing our secret little society - but then again, this is about Oculus - and Facebook - and things we love and care about. Personally I'd like the work and efforts we're doing in here to have better impact.
Well, maybe the post will just get downvoted and I'll take the negative karma on my shoulders, lol.

I've farted around in VR Chat, as well as Altspace VR and Rec Room. If those are the ambassadors and central goal of VR social interaction, I'd be checking out of that hotel immediately. They're dominated, from what I've experienced, by whiny bratty children who do nothing but beg and complain loudly. That, or try to molest everyone they see in VR. And I'm not using 'children' as a euphorism. I mean "13, probably younger".
