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 have a Facebook account but my friend does not. Now we cannot play together as he does not want to be connected to social media. Very disappointing to hold features *******. This was not needed before it shouldn’t be needed now

I personally don't care about my privacy as much as most users and this didn't affect me in the slightest, but forcing it is a terrible move for those that do. Given Facebook's history of negligence regarding user data this is a very valid concern. You have created a product of the like that comes once in a decade. Don't ruin it.

The moment this started I completely stopped using any Oculus social features. I haven't visited my home since the change.

I prefer using Oculus headsets and as my friends begin developing interested VR, I would like to recommend Oculus. As long as this requirement is present, I will continue recommending waiting for a similarly featured competitor's product that does not require connecting a social media account.

I refuse to connect games to my Facebook account and I don't want to make a dummy account just to be able to properly use the gaming system I purchased. Please rethink this.

I will not make a Facebook account. If you force me to I'll just need to make a fake one which is against Terms of Service.

If they choose to keep it, give everyone FULL refunds! Including all purchases on games, apps, etc...for those that elect to not have a Facebook account linked to this platform. I can see why Carmack wants to distance himself from this nonsense...

I fully agree. I had to create a base account. Have locked off all privacy and search setting, no profile photo, no personal information. Just so I could use social features. Completely pointless, get rid of it, FB and VR are not related in anyway (aside from ownership) so should be kept separate!
