I have some racing games that are huge.

A few years ago, you had to worry about how to do this but now S3, etc. are making it so much easier. When I was dealing with an integration of a website issue, we had to worry about each content provider’s ISP reliability and all the latency inherent in various connections. Now, companies that provide video to places like ESPN are working out how to mirror the master in minutes and then seconds - and then shorter time periods - when before it was weeks or days before changes could sensibly propagate. With S3 and other cloud services, they can deploy servers where demand is project for a single event like a big game - or the Olympics. Remember when the first Olympics was on the net? Now the entire thing could be done with nary a glitch.
