- For some its a matter of concern regarding their feelings about Facebook
- For some its a matter of levity, for funny comments
- For some its a disappointment regarding an investment made and now to be abandoned
- For some its not important and they will support whatever
- For some its a brand new opportunity they look forward to trying
kojack said:The announcement says:Starting in October 2020:
Everyone using an Oculus device for the first time will need to log in with a Facebook account.
If
you are an existing user and already have an Oculus account, you will
have the option to log in with Facebook and merge your Oculus and
Facebook accounts.If you are an existing user and choose not to merge your accounts, you can continue using your Oculus account for two years.
Starting In January 2023:
We will end support for Oculus accounts.
If
you choose not to merge your accounts at that time, you can continue
using your device, but full functionality will require a Facebook
account.We will take steps to
allow you to keep using content you have purchased, though some games
and apps may no longer work. This could be because they require a
Facebook account or because a developer has chosen to no longer support
the app or game you purchased.

This was posted on FB a short while ago..."If you log in using your Facebook account or merge your Oculus and Facebook accounts and violate the Facebook Community Standards, Conduct in VR Policy or other terms and policies on any of our platforms your access to or use of Oculus products may be impacted," a spokesperson replied."If your account is fully disabled as a result of this violation you may also lose access to your [games and content]. We are committed to keeping all of our platforms safer."This appears to apply to a wide range of violations, including infractions like violence, criminal behavior, and fraud, as well as using pseudonyms instead of real names, using a fake date of birth, posting graphic content or anything else Facebook deems objectionable."

Nope, that is fake news. I already shared multiple links to conservative view points, and all other views across the political and religious spectrum. Even Flat Earthers have their own Facebook Groups.
If you have chosen a headset other than Oculus or Facebook, then that's fine. But you should do so happily! Enjoy your new journey. I see no reason to start spreading untruths on an Oculus forum simply because you are choosing a non-Oculus path.
I mean... I don't own the Valve Index, but that doesn't mean I'm going to head over to the Steam Forums and claim that Valve only allows Flat Earthers to post! lol

Fair enough, however that's why I used the word "perhaps".

I just don't trust the whole thing, I don't think they should ban you from your games if you get banned on facebook since you paid money for it.
