EarthDogAlso, the title is clickbait at best, misleading to be fair...no? FB doesn't ban your account when you try to hook these up... you even said, it is the verification process that is already in limbo that needs to be corrected, right? If your FB account is verified, there isn't an issue.

SlizzoThe problem is people have been creating FB accounts, and able to log in. Then they link their Oculus account, and are promptly banned without ability for review by FB's system.

Then users contact Oculus support, and Oculus support tells the customers that they can't help, and need to contact Facebook as it is a Facebook account issue. This may be aleviated a little currently, as Oculus support SAYS that they are recommending these customers open tickets with Oculus, but...

The issue, is that people will buy the Quest 2, and will not be able to use the device when they create accounts and need to wait for a manual review that could take months to be completed. Would you pay $300 or $400 for something now that you may or may not be able to use in 3 months?

Facebook's idea on Real Identity (where any one account actually fully represents a single person that exists in the non-digital world, and is thus much more valuable for data gathering and advertising revenue) is partly to blame here, as it may bring an overzealous disposition to the table - at least when it comes to Oculus Quest 2 paperweights. For now, Facebook is directing Quest 2 users who have run into these account verification issues to try and clear them with Oculus support. here's hoping that process takes a little less than three months.

ValantarWait, I get that face masks are attention grabbing, but paperweights? That's a rather odd statement. Not only do they have crucial functions beyond holding down papers (without face masks, surgery would be exponentially more risky, among other things), but given their very lightweight construction and materials they would be exceptionally poor paperweights too. I get that this was likely meant as a joke, but this just doesn't compute. And that's without taking into account the current prevalence of right-wing conspiracy theories about face masks, of course.

kapone32Why can I see a Class Action lawsuit coming from this? Especially if it takes months to be resolved. That really sucks as CP2077 supports VR too.

RaevenlordWait, what? Cyberpunk 2077 supports VR? When was this announced?

biffzinkerAre these Facebook accounts that were already banned in violation of rules on the social side?
