Yes and this is why I like you

Ooh, Tsuro has been released on this. Its a great game, have the irl boardgame. No idea how it'll work in VR but I want to know.

It's a turn based boardgame where you lay tiles down to create paths, those paths can effect you and an opponent, the goal is to basically be the last man standing, you can eliminate players by making their path go off the edge of the board.

3 days until Rez Infinite and Space Channel 5 come to Quest!

Oh Ulala, keep shaking those hips for me

I’ve set up an empty Facebook account ahead of this arriving, just added my normal one as one friend. Anything else suggested that would keep it under the fake account radar, if they do look out for that?

It might be empty but you'll need to keep it active. For a start you'll need a friends list to play MP. You'll be as well to use your normal one as your main. If they ban you your Quest is fucked.

For the small amount of the public bothered to set up a second account, why would FB profile death squads actively hunt down people buying their hardware and software is the question that loses me zero sleep.

Again, you're failing to understand why they're spending billions subsidising this thing.

For the majority of normal people.

No, it's to get you tied to a single active account in preparation for AR.

Tbf I think they'll warn you first. Probably.

SG, I appreciate your points and your concerns over privacy and data use but it's getting to the point now when you appear to be doing the equivalent of standing in the middle of a busy pub and continually shouting "drinking is a sin! Alcohol is a sin! Don't you know you're poisoning yourselves??"

You've made your point mate and fair enough you don't want one and won't ever get a Quest.

Now how about let those of us who do have one enjoy things in here a bit yea?

You never know mate, you might be proved right in the end but I'm having a great time with my Oculus

To be clear, I'm not saying don't have fun with it, I'm saying if you do get one tie it to one account and delete the others, as per terms and conditions.

Before I start I'm not having a go, think of this as practical advice in investing in the Quest 2.

I'd advise that you do what they really want and only have one FB account. For years they've ignored it but for years they've ignored lots of other things besides, because quite frankly they didn't give a shit. This situation won't last that long. FB is under increasing pressure to account for it's actions in various ugly spots around the world and they know that false accounts are a major part of this and subsequent legislation is going to require they get a little responsible for their actions. 

This will mean being able to identify people to specific accounts, which fortunately for FB ties in to what they would ideally like anyway, so you can see the way this might be heading. 

I'd imagine they'd give you some opportunity to come clean and a VPN will buy you some time but but if you are banned you'll have a hell of a time getting unbanned. How many FB employees to FB accounts? 

It's legislation that'll pressure the enforcement of a single account (hello FBI) and FB will love it anyway whilst pretending it's unjust. 

I'm aware this might sound like mad batshit.

I do think there's a moral obligation to not side with them. VR is great and all but fuck cheapness if it means ignoring genuinely societal important stuff. No gaming is worth that. As for bad press I don't know where to begin.

Anyway, more importantly to you I wouldn't presume they're going to allow dual accounts in the same way they do now.

He'd eat your heart out without you noticing until you dropped dead.
