Don't require Facebook for social features
Your recent demand that all social users engage through Facebook is a bad decidion. I will not allow my children to be exposed thru Facebook so you can make a few pennies in marketing kickbacks. We will never participate in an Oculus social media again and I will actively campaign online against you from this point on.

Could not agree more. It's a disgusting marginal cash grab. I was profoundly disappointed with the original sale to FB, but had been pleasantly surprised by the hands off approach taken. The other shoe dropped at Christmas.

Yep - facebook should NOT be a requirement for this headset.

With the direction that Facebook is going these days, it makes me want to buy another brand's headset when I decide to upgrade. I'm not interested in any of facebook's social features. I had my concerns when Oculus got bought by Facebook, and today I can see those concerns coming true.

Yeah I immediately switched over to Steam to play with friends. I didn't have a Fb acct before this, and definitely won't. I was really disappointed.

Yep. This is what has permanently turned me away from Oculus. What a stupid idea.

Here here! I happen to be on FB myself but forcing people to use it is unethical.

This only serves to further encourage owners of Oculus headsets to purchase their games from steam. Most people do not wish to entertwine their social media, which may include family and co-workers, with random people on the internet who they game with.

I will refund my Rift S if the pointless Facebook integration goes any further. What's next, are we going to have to sign into Facebook just to play our games?

I absolutely won't buy an Oculus headset for my next HMD if the Facebook integration continues.

If that comes about I can auto choose another HMD - I don't use and won't use Facebook in any shape or form. It is a cancer on society

Keep it optional. If it is pushed on users too hard it may influence their choice of HMD. It does push me away as I want to distance myself from Facebook too.

Even if Facebook wasn't on the downward slope of public opinion, keeping Facebook at arms length from Oculus' content is the better move in the long run. But it DOES have an increasingly negative stigma. If there's hope for Oculus products in the long run, the time is now to keep a bit of distance between the two, in the software ecosystem. You don't have to blatantly hide the ownership association, but maybe it's not so great an idea to place it prominently. :P
