For example, I honestly believe the Oculus founder believed the promises that you wouldn't ever need to use a FB account to use an Oculus, just given his public comments.

You can't use Oculus products now without a Facebook account?

Without a Facebook account, your Oculus headset has "limited" features. There's also been a bunch of stories on HN from people who've bricked their headset when their linked Facebook account got banned or deleted.

Does it really brick the headset? I read that if one account gets banned, you can log in with another account.
