Notch and the childish knee-jerk reaction. No idea why Facebook would creep someone out to be honest, you'll encounter creeps all over the Internet. It's just another social network.
Those that say Facebook is creepy are more likely to be the creepy people in my experience.
"If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
This is all good until Oculus forces you into anything that has to do with Facebook. It may not happen at first, but I'm afraid it may. Facebook sign in on some games? Advertisements through Rift where money goes into Facebooks' pocket? Some sort of Facebook integration through Rift? A possible competitor for Google Glass? Facebook gathering info on games you play through Rift? Anything can happen.
It's cute that people think Oculus are solely behind the games/software that take advantage of VR. Like, do you actually think OculusVR could (or would) mandate that the likes of Valve or Epic must use Facebook sign-in? Really? It would be impossible for them to enforce that as the Oculus Rift is merely a display device.
By this logic it's like saying if Facebook bought Panasonic, then future TVs could require Facebook sign-in to access Netflix or iPlayer. It's not going to happen.
Use your heads.
