Which avatar art style would be the wisest choice for a company?
Meta got a lot of criticism for the art style of its built in avatars. Too cartoony for enterprise, too vanilla for gamers, and people weren't happy with the aesthetics.
A fully realistic art style might please more people, but it won't be a wise choice due to the computing power required.
I feel like a Japanese company could just use anime art style and no one would bat an eyelid, because of course they would.
Letting players import their own custom avatars comes with many risks, hahah.
I guess one solution might be to offer a range of different avatar art styles that people can switch between at will. Your final product will lack artistic cohesion, but it might be fine for anime style, pixar style, lowpoly realism, abstract shapes, furries, etc to all mix in a kinda Star Wars cantina sort of vibe...
