Why do us steam players get punished and cant create our own character

i agree and this is the only thing i hate.

It's a decision made by Facebook. So you can thank them for it. It's not changing.

then they should of never ported it to steam if they dont care about steam users

yeah, they had some asshat math-geek tell them that if they ported it fully into steam they would lose X% of potential headset sales by including a player-base that would have otherwise have been excluded from the more social side of pokerstars vr and would be more profitable to just ignore steam users than it would be to extend a very minimal update to them allowing them to customize their avatars.
I mean, i get capitalism, but for a company who purposes to want to bring the world together and be inclusive entity to purposefully neglect a large portion of their playerbase speaks exactly as to what kind of company Facebook was and META is.

When I first got this game.... I loaded in with my Facebook avatar... the one i created.... well I went through selecting presets to see what they had and now I am unable to switch back to my custom character.... I have no idea how to fix it... all of my friends are able to have their custom avatars.... Instead i have to be some fat creepy bald dude that looks like he might be interested in underage children...

steam version does not have the feature for custom avatars this is why. you have to go back to your meta world for that.

Sorry I'm late to this but are you saying if I link my accounts with that new function, I can go to the Meta version, make an avatar and itll be on the steam version?

I linked my account and my avatar did not transfer over, I was limited to the default avatars supplied by pokerstars.

Its absolutely not a decision by Facebook lol. They (the developers) would need to create avatars for each platform. The Playstation version didn't have avatars either, and they put in weird V shaped bodied characters that lack actual arms. It looks so weird. The developers are simply hooking into the Meta platforms character models and using them in the game. If they wanted custom models here the developers would have to actually create them, and what they made for the Playstation version are freaky and incomplete as hell.

That is intended. Pokerstars can't utilize Facebook avatar assets on a PC game. They could do what they did with PS5, but those avatars are weird, freaky even less half versions of the Meta avatars.

Game Devs, please work on this. Its definitely frustrating not being able to customize your avatar.

[clockwork]

This is the only thing which is very bad. Maybe the can do more of them and more barebone...why do they have glasses or hats already? i mean i want my own glasses and hats...and some are too big for wearing football pads or the country stickers....

[MoonDrifter]

its the main reason to quit this game.. this buggy standart avatars are terrible, hairs are clipping to caps etc..
