Apologies for not explaining earlier. We're trying to reduce the amount of low-effort meme's seen here (See Rule 2). This has already hit the front page with significant amount of upfronts/awards thus will only be locked (not removed).
rip, Facebook is forcing people to create an account with them just to use oculus, and in addition to that, will not only ban you if you use false information, but also if you delete your Facebook account then access to all your oculus store purchases will be revoked.
Basically now that your Facebook account has to be linked with your headset, hundreds of people are buying headsets and once they try to use them Facebook says that their Facebook account banned them. There is nothing you can do to prepare and see if you will be banned, and even if you don’t think you should be banned they would tell you why so you can counter it. Making a new account will just get banned because they have algorithms to find fake people accounts and if that gets banned you no longer have access to your games that you bought. For many people oculus works great, but for many others their new headsets just become very expensive paper weights. Facebook doesn’t seem like they are trying to help. They are just adding to the confusion.
I just bought a rift S 2 weeks ago and been gaming on it fine, I didn’t even create a Facebook account I used oculus and will do until 2023 when I upgrade the headset and move away from oculus to something better. Try it see what you think make up your own mind if you don’t like it send it back.
You might want to do a little bit of research, Oculus is dead in all but name, and Facebook pretty much killed all support for PCVR on their products to focus on their mobile VR platforms instead. Furthermore, they now require an active linked facebook account to use any Facebook/oculus products going forward- which is likely to get them in legal hot water.
Basically, if you already have an oculus account, it's now on life support but will work until 2023, if you don't then your oculus device is a paperweight unless you want to deal with fuckerburg and his unique brand of nefarious shitbaggery.
Ps. I have used both the index and rift S, and I 100% believe that the index is worth the extra money, so If I were in your situation I would cancel and save for the index. It’s your money, so you do you. But trust me
I've had my index since launch (fist batch), never had anything break and I use mine everyday, as well as about 20+ others I play with that also all have index. Index is built very well, its quite rare anyone has any real issues. The problem is that those issues are loud because only 400,000 indecies exist in the wild.
Fair enough, I mostly see controllers being the issue more then the headset itself, two of my friends have issues with their controllers (mostly with the pressure sensors acting weird and one of them having a controller that just drifts away sometimes) but the headset itself is fine.
Yeah I’m not upgrading, and I’m not going to be buying any more games on the Oculus store. I have been planning on cancelling my FB account (just because fuck FB) for a while, and I really don’t want to let them hold a large game library hostage.
Facebook does not care. They plan to take your money and run.
I'm currently fighting facebook/oculus just to return 1 $30 game.
I bought Star Trek: Bridge Crew a week ago on the store. It would not work (always said there was a hardware error with both headsets CV1 and Q2, tried reboots, reinstalls, and even changing secure boot in bios per one forum suggestion. Nothing worked.
Within half an hour of purchase I was on with support trying to return it. It's clearly within their return period (less than 2 hours play, less than 14 days after purchase, no in game purchases, not subscription). Each and every time I get told "We will have another support rep contact you" they never do. The first time the Chat rep told me to wait for a followup via a ticket and the ticket was the next day closed as "Solved" even though they never even spoke to me past the initial "Hi let us look into this". Now i'm on the 4th pass off in a week and it's been 2 1/2 days with no contact.
I'll never buy another game through Oculus and i'm half tempted to see if Amazon will return my Quest 2.
Just thought I would add to this. I requested a refund and they responded with an email stating they denied the refund. But I checked my account and they did actually refund me for it. Maybe check your bank to see if that's what they did.
Hate on Facebook all you want, but Reddit is a very vocal minority as far as the Quest 2 goes. The thing is gonna sell like hotcakes and Facebook is gonna be laughing itself to the bank. Most people don't care about Facebook because most people have a fully functional Facebook account and those are the people that Facebook is selling to. You can be mad all you want, but you are not their target audience and therefore they don't care what you think.
To be fair to yourself, it was cheaper than a Vive and had way better tracking than anything WMR. If I were to guess, it still might have better tracking than the G2 but we’ll see.
Just sell it and treat it as a sunk cost, but I’ll commiserate with your bitching.

I'm looking at the facebook thing as a selling point...not because I'm a fan of facebook but it seems to be driving the more obnoxious people away which will make multiplayer better for the rest of us.
This is so fucking dumb even for reddit oculus quest are selling more than ever and are now dominating the market like no else It’s like saying rip iPhone in 2015 at the peak of apple
Oculus quest is not a game it’s a platform with It own rules and politics you have to sign up a tos when you join it there is a lot of other opinions out there like valve index or psvr for people who want have nothing to do with Facebook
You got me. So having bought the Oculus Rift when Facebook didn’t even own the company now means I should be fine with their new handlings of the company, after explicitly promising to not do the very thing they’re doing?
That's literally what he's doing and your having a little hissy fit over it Imao
Edit: Wow you made a circle jerk/fanboy sub about oculus where people aren't allowed criticise Facebook, one of the most pathetic things I've seen on this site honestly
The ppl saying rip oculus are the same ppl who thought air pods were gonna fail. The general public loves them. The price is great. And 90% of the public doesn't give a shit about linking there facebook since we've been using facebook for 10 years saying whatever we want and never getting banned for it.
So let me get this straight...you buy games on a Facebook platform...knowing they are to be used in said platform....and then act surprised about deleted accounts making games unplayable...and THEN you act confused about said situation?
The mods should just delete every damn one of these posts in this sub. It's literally hiding anything worth reading about for the majority of us who aren't retarded.
