Can we please have a class action somehow? I have oculus gear I would not have purchased had they not promised to tie into a Facebook account that now sits on my shelf unusable (by me)

Edit - even though I could sell the rift, what about the -$1000 I spent on software I can no longer access

The Rift is still usable without a Facebook account, without any particular "tricks."

There's even a pretty well-documented "trick" to use the Quest 2 without one, but it would be silly to post it in a place with so many Facebook employees that could be baited to "fix" it.

Class actions start because someone sues a company and the lawyer realizes there are many folks with the same issue, and starts a class action. So if you want a class action, contact a lawyer and sue Facebook. A lawyer can't just sue someone in a class action, they have to have a client who has damages.
