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.

I can’t play with any of my friends that have a quest because they refuse to make a Facebook account for it, this is ridiculous to make this mandatory to have any social fun on the quest or go into venues, please be a company that listens to its customers and change this

Facebook are CUNTZ

I am so disgusted by this requirement. Facebook buying Oculus is one of the most disappointing things to happen to the future of technology that I can imagine. Please remove the Facebook requirement. I don't want a Facebook account, I don't need a Facebook account, and it's already bad enough that I've given Facebook any money by purchasing a Quest in the first place. You're a disgusting, horrible, disturbing company that's deeply harmful to humanity.

You release a product that has X system in place for social interactions, you create an account for it and login and use it for a year. Then some guy comes by and puts a second login underneath locking people from previous content they had unless they accept the worst terms of service in the world currently. This is unacceptable, I want a full refund for this spyware trash. Ill go buy cardboard and build a fort instead, its free 3d.

Yeah how dare you require a Facebook login for social activities. PlayStation doesn't require PlayStation Plus to play online. Xbox doesn't require Xbox live to play online. Nintendo doesn't require Nintendo Switch online.

At least come up with a LAN play option.

agreed. My child does not have a facebook account. He just wants to gameplay with friends. He certainly doesn't need to be on social media to interact with his buddies.

It's truly disgusting to purchase a company, then force your privacy-selling, dystopian software down the existing user's throats. Remove this requirement or you'll be losing a lot of business. I've been a supporter of oculus for years, but this has me telling my friends to look elsewhere for a good vr experience.

We have multiple Quests and really enjoy them but may have to switch to another company if the Facebook requirement is not removed. It’s shameful that I should have to agree to your data mining
to play with members of my own household. -

I was so disappointed to learn social features on my Quest require facebook. I will NEVER have a facebook account again so I am just waiting until a device comes out better than the Quest so I can leave this dumpster fire company back in 2010 where it belongs.
Change this Oculus, or else you are gonna have a ton of disatisfied customers..

I can't even play with my kids after buying 4 of these. I even tried making us Facebook accounts, and it disabled our accounts for violating their terms by only wanting the account to utilize the features on the quest....

I just purchased two of these headset so my wife and I could play together. Now I'm finding out we can't play together because we don't use Facebook. I looked into this before purchasing and I was happy to see we could just create Oculus accounts, but I had no idea we wouldn't be able to play together without using Facebook. Please REMOVE this requirement! At this point I'm debating whether or not to box these up and return them. I know what Facebook does behind the scenes and having an account is a HUGE privacy concern for us!
Spoiler alert: once you accept their terms by creating an account, it doesn't matter what information you don't give them; they collect it from third parties and sell more data on you than you could ever imagine. Sounds pretty safe....right?

Keep it as it was. Optional integration for those who want extra features. And party system working without need for linking accounts.

I totally agree! I just wanna play multiplayer games with my family and because i don't have a Facebook account nor want one; I cant! I don't understand if i pay for the headset, games, and dlc why i can't talk or invite friends and family to my game. **** ill even settle for a subscription base membership through oculus like xbox does or free like steam on pc does. I just don't feel comfortable with Facebook. I tried a fake account but it keeps getting disabled.

Why remove the option to now need Facebook to interact with friends and make it mandatory now? You actually removed a feature that was one of the main reasons I bought an Oculus. Please return to the way it used to work so I can once again recommend to my friends and family

Illegal Tying
commented
I wonder if this equates to illegal tying under US antitrust laws? Interesting legal research project for someone and/or case for a firm that now has a list of over 2,000 potential class members right here.
We should be able to connect with friends via our VR headsets without being sucked into Facebook's social media empire. Nothing more than data mining, unscrupulous cross-selling and abject greed.

This is ridiculous, I've never needed a Facebook account ever before, and now the "freedom" of the internet future is literally 1984.
