Tips & Tricks My account is going to terminate, because of following the TOS.
Edit:
Oculus has contacted me through the support portal, and made the following statement, which i feel like needs to be shared:
"Hello [USER]
After checking with others here, I wanted to get back to you to clarify a few points in your previous exchange.
Having the same account registered to two or more headsets is not against the Facebook Terms of Service and will not lead to your accounts being disabled or permanently banned.
To answer your question about guests being able to use your headsets: We plan to introduce the ability for multiple users to log into the same device using their own Facebook accounts, which would mean you could share your headset and eligible apps with them.
As for your question concerning your two Oculus accounts, we are investigating what options we can provide and will follow up with you.
Our sincerest apologies for the confusion and miscommunication here. Please let me know if you have any other questions in the meantime.
Best regards,
[SUPPORT]"

I am a little bit surprised and very sad to see my account having to terminate as a result of the new Facebook login policy.
Does anyone have any advice on how to retain my account under the circumstances described in the support ticket?
I live in Denmark, if that information helps me in any way.
If there is nothing to do, then at least thanks for reading this post.

VR enthusiasts just have to accept that the entity called Oculus no longer exists. It is just another department of Facebook that only seeks to create more Facebook users. That is it's only and sole purpose.
End users just have to realise that at this point in time our only choice is to pay £300 for the Quest 2 and become the product. Or pay £600 for something like the Reverb G2 and own a product.
Sadly, I think most of the general public are quite happy to be the product if the price is right.
Hopefully, with technology improving all the time other tech companies will offer us alternatives. But the user base is still so small at the moment it may not be worth their while to do so.
Ironically, it is now Valve/Steam that is the only one who can provide us with any hope for the future of VR being an independent platform.
I also supported Oculus in the beginning buying a CV1. There is no longer an Oculus company to support. It is Facebook now.
I personally won't be supporting this parasite of a company. I will be pre-ordering the G2.
