A larger game could be very difficult to handle...
Yes, that would be a problem. If SE5 doesn't do a better job with the processing speed of the larger games, there will be a practical limit to how big a game can be on PBW. Of course, that's a year or two away. Enough time to upgrade the server hardware I think.
