Here's my phone installing GearVR. I've never had a facebook account.
The bit in the red circle is for Oculus accounts, NOT FACEBOOK. You already have an Oculus account, that's how you've been posting on here for 3 years.

Well said. I completely agree.

To be fair, the way that that-part is written is rather ambiguous. "Don't have Facebook? Sign in or Create account" could be interpreted as referring to Facebook since a new context has not been established. A better phrasing would be, "Don't have Facebook? Sign in using your Oculus account, or Create a new Oculus account"
It's a bit of slightly pedantic copy clarification, but when you know
people *do not* want to use Facebook, the little extra clarification
will help prevent losing the few users who would be confused by the
ambiguity.

I was unable to use GearVR without enabling the facebook services on my phone. I had disabled anything facebook related, all their services, and remove any apps I could remove from my phone because I don't agree with their terms and conditions, privacy policy, etc and simply don't want to use their platform.
I was forced to enable these same facebook services because gear vr won't work without them.
There is no statement about gear vr requiring facebook services to work.

People will argue about anything these days, goodness. Personally, I do not think that the wording has to be changed. This is a good way to weed out those who aren't mentally strong enough to own technology.

If Nathan and Mimsy want to use the Rift, they should be able to figure it out with no problem — no reason to limit it to those at, or above, Cartman's level.
