An easy way out would be to ban the account from everything except accessing the purchases.

yes ... that's what I hope and expect would be the outcome if this was enforced on Facebook. They will try to claim that the social features are essential to the platform and therefore cannot be disabled but it would not hold up based on current Oculus ecosystem.

Even if it did their options should be to either

1. Allow the user to play it's purchases, just without social features.

2. Refund the user

If this was the law they'd figure it out I promise you that.

This is pretty much the simplest path. "You posted bad stuff on Facebook, so you can't post stuff on Facebook. Or like, or whatever. Have a nice day."

this is not enough, you will still end up with a piece of hardware that you paid for and can not fully use.

it’s their decision to introduce this account, when there is really no need for it, let it be their problem to fully refund everything when this affects you. the solution is simple: quit forcing people to use the account nobody asked for.
