The move by Oculus to “require” Facebook accounts creates serious problems for some of its biggest fans. Windows Central reports that Facebook will ban users of Oculus who simultaneously use more than one VR headset that are linked to the same social media account. This violates Facebook's terms, say support representatives. In other words, you risk being banned if you buy several Oculus Quest 2s for the family and don't want to create separate Facebook accounts to allow people to play simultaneously.
The company plans to support multiple Facebook accounts on a set of headphones, but this does not address the problems of people who cannot or do not want to create a Facebook account, such as children under 13 years old. The current situation could force people to either create placeholder accounts or use only one set of headphones at a time. It is almost certain that irritation will be caused among some of Oculus's most loyal users.
The company has argued that requiring an account will help people find friends for social experiences like games, reduce trolls, and allow integration with features like Horizon VR . However, critics argue that it ties users into the Facebook ecosystem and makes it easier for the company to track users ' habits .
Oculus responded to a complaint from a customer in a series of tweets he posted, saying that using the same Facebook account on two headsets would not ban the user. He also added that he intends to introduce the “multiple users who will be able to connect to the same device using their own Facebook account”.
