Product tying was one of the reasons for the Microsoft anti-trust trial in the 90’s. Iirc you can obtain a monopoly in one product legally by out-competing your competition, but you can’t obtain another monopoly in another product by tying the second product to the legal monopoly product. MS built Internet Explorer into Windows to remove users’ need for a third-party browser like Netscape. And they did some contractual tying of Office to Windows too iirc. https://www.justice.gov/atr/us-v-microsoft-courts-findings-fact https://www.justice.gov/atr/us-v-microsoft-courts-findings-f... So it should be no surprise that DoJ may have problems with attempts to tie Occulus to Facebook’s legal monopoly product.
