Remove Mandatory Facebook Login!
Remove Mandatory Facebook login in order to accept friend requests and use the Oculus app. I have never had Facebook nor do i want it. I just want to play vr. I don’t want to have to have facebook to enjoy my 500$ Virtual Reality Headset with my friends.

Agreed, I purchased a quest loved it... soon after this facebook authentication thing came in and I went with it since eventually it would be mandatory anyways.
Then facebook bans my account and doesn't give it back, stripping me of a few hundred dollars of games and a usable headset.
I wanted to escape into VR, not engage in another social network. -

I won't be purchasing an Oculus Quest 2 until the mandatory Facebook login is removed. I don't want to share my gaming data with Facebook - they have far too much personal data already!

in the very least we need to be able to completely abstract our DOCUMENT VERIFIED REAL WORLD IDENTITY from our oculus profiles, for security, privacy and safety

I will migrate away from anything in the facebook space as soon as it is financially possible. Facebook, you're doing very little for yourselves beyond generating massive amounts of ill will from your customer base. What you're doing is spending tons of money generating revolutionary products that will be easily and inexpensively reverse engineered by your competition and as soon as possible, people will move away from your absurd fascistic system to one that demonstrates more respect for the customer. Right now you have a big pile of money so it's easy to produce the cheapest headset, but when you fall you'll fall hard unless you walk this nonsense back several steps.

Even if you accept to have a FB account, it does not mean you will be able to have it, or use any Oculus product or that you will be able to use it in the future even if you do absolutely nothing wrong. My accound was disabled 1 day after creation without using it and without telling me why. After contacting them, "the decision cannot be reversed". And after recontacting them, they said it was an error and that I can use my account. 9 month later, I have tried to enter again just to see if they really enable it (I did not tried before, it was only to activate my Quest 2, and I returned it because I was unable to activate it)... and surprise!!... Account is still disabled.
FB is just a bad joke. Anyone that spend any money to buy an Oculus game should know that they can loose everything at any moment without absolutely any reason. I suppose if they later spend enough time of their life by contacting FB, at the end it will be solved (not worked on my case, but maybe yes for others). I am really surprised that this is legal -

I just want to be able to deactivate my FB Profile and still play games. I can deactivate FB and keep Messenger -- why not Oculus?

As much as I like Oculus I'm going to stay with my Oculus account and use my Quest for SteamVR until there's a decently priced alternative. I can't get a Quest 2 because I'm not for linking my facebook account just so I can play VR games.

People from All over need to get on this... http://chng.it/Fg5Y8rV5rq
A petition to get our voices heard, more of these need to be setup and thrown at FB and Oculus when completed. Lets all make ONE VOICE be heard for this.

this is scummy in everyway, even marketing wise. We bought a OCULUS not a FACEBOOK, I dont even see why as a parent company they need to brutally shove it in your face that this is a facebook product

This is such a huge slap in the face to the entire VR community esp those who invested in your device only for you to pull this a year or two later. Locking us out of a device that we paid $400 dollars for just so you can have another pocket to mine data from

After having my wife sign up for Facebook to use her Quest 2 and it getting instant banned I whole heartily agree that this should be removed as a requirement on so many different levels.

Facebook? No Thanks

"Login with Facebook so you can use social features on Oculus"
You see the problem here? What's wrong with just having an Oculus account?
I will not purchase another Oculus product if Facebook is continued to be required.

On the oculus store it was not made clear to me that I needed a Facebook account, if there was a picture of the actual box it comes in on the website I would have seen that it's written on the box.
I have no interest in sending any data to Facebook and do not trust the hardware I've paid for.
I purchased my headset after the acquisition by Facebook and thus was FORCED TO MAKE A SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT TO USE THE HARDWARE I"VE PAID FOR.
I will not be purchasing any further Oculus products until Facebook is no longer integrated.
I will also be working with open source groups to develop separate open source VR drivers. -

I will never link my Facebook account with my VR hardware. It is an offensive, unacceptable, and completely unjustifiable requirement. I would buy a Quest 2 immediately if this was not required.

I would gladly give up the oculus store and all the related content to de-facebook my Quest. VR Desktop is all I need.

I am not buying an Oculus if the Facebook mandate stays. Facebook should be an option and not a requirement. We want Oculus, not Facebook.

I bought the Oculus 2 to play wireless VR. The only reason I chose the oculus over another brand was the price tag- it is the cheapest overall in this genre so far. The fact that Facebook is a requirement for this unit almost discouraged me from buying (not a fan of social media). As it stands, unless policy changes, and common sense user support and protections are improved upon, I may migrate over to another brand of device in the next few years if VR systems improve.
