Am I the only one who thinks there will be a class action lawsuit over the Oculus requiring a Facebook login? The PS3 took away the ability to install Linux in an update and lost the resulting lawsuit, the Oculus isn't the same situation, but it's close enough that I think a lawsuit would have a good chance.
It's one thing if they just required you to make a login, but it sounds like you cant "just make a login". You have to give them your name, there's a good chance you'll get banned if you name is unusual or if you don't immediately make "friends", etc, etc.

The account is definitely not necessary to use the product, therefore it's not OK under GDPR. Germany has already said that this is not OK, so I expect this to happen pretty quickly.
