So now that Facebook is continuing to tighten their grip on Oculus VR headsets, here are all the circumstances where you might lose access to your Oculus account (and all your purchases).

  1. You refuse to create a Facebook account.
  2. If you have multiple VR headsets attached to one account.
  3. If you decide to delete your Facebook account at any point.
  4. If your Facebook account is suspended for any reason, including no reason at all.

From a Kotaku article published today:

Now combine this knowledge with the words spoken by Andrew ‘Boz’ Bosworth, Vice President of Augmented and Virtual Reality at Facebook last week, when he said “I think people should continue to make sure their Facebook accounts are in good standing before they buy the headset. They can work through those problems before they do it.”

Are people really still interested in buying these things at this point?
