Considering that this post was made on Facebook's Oculus Forum, you are
at least a little bothered with Facebook and Oculus. It's hard to get
away from Facebook and Oculus right? Resistance is futile, my friend.

Did you even read it.
a description of possible actions or events in the " future "
Really ... My God Zenbane's Time Machine Works !!

If I still was bothered about Oculus and Facebook, I would have
purchased the Quest 2 and signed up to a Facebook account.

I mean, will you be happy in the future, if all Oculus Facebook does is bring out a shit load of Mobile VR and PC -VR content dries up?

I predict Facebook investing more in VR, in the event that Whatsapp and Instagram get sold off.
VR may be seen by Facebook as safer ground for expansion as it's harder to argue it's been anti-competitive in the same way that the social network buy-ups were.
Account requirements may change though and I'd be good with that 🙂
As far as the EU laws are concerned, UK customers may lose out if Facebook reduce warranty periods from 2 to 1 year as a result. Can't see any other issues.

I doubt that the Account Requirements will change at all. Facebook will just implement a new policy that allows users to create a FB account that is flagged 'for VR only' (or something similar), in order to keep social media features segmented.

Nah, that would just be "more bothered about Oculus and Facebook." As it stands now, as an active member of the Facebook Oculus forum, you are bothered about Oculus and Facebook. Just because you are not MORE bothered to buy MORE products doesn't negate the adequate amount of bothered you currently maintain.

When I became a member of this forum, there was talk that Oculus VR
and Facebook would always remain separate.
I'm not sure why writing on an old Oculus forum from yesteryear means I'm still interested in Oculus and Facebook.

Unofficial talk, rumors, and speculation. Facebook never said that themselves, and we should all understand how an "acquisition" works. Facebook has always made their intent very clear, which is actually one of the main reasons I chose Oculus over HTC at that time.

That's why I said: "When I became a member of this forum, there was talk
that Oculus VR

said this themselves. I guess I was taken in by the small talk
but I hope I've learnt a lesson and won't be so easily taken in next
time. I'm only here to talk about other VR headsets now and PC -VR
content. I don't involve myself with Quest 2 threads anymore.

Here in the UK, where we probably have the best consumer protection in the world, you actually have by law up to 6 years guarantee on expensive items under the Sale Of Goods Act if I'm remembering correctly.
