Recently had the same experience with Activision, turned out I was shadowbanned because my name contained the word "Erotica". No phone support, email or chat, I ended up finding a solution in a single thread on Battlenet forums.

Battle.net allows names that are banned by Activision, and when logging into COD it was automatically imported, banning my account.

Add Oculus to the list of terrible support. It took ~100 days to resolve an issue with them disabling my account. It is pretty hard to talk to a human without having to wait a week.

Never buy any hardware directly from them. If you have any issues with an order it's a nightmare. Still out ~$435 as well.

Sounds like they have a Scunthorpe problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
