Well, the influx of designs is also going to be limited, to some
degree by how quickly you can produce new designs, regardless of
your actual in-game resources.  Obviously, if you flood the
submission mechanisms with tons of shoddy work, I imagine that
you're going to be de-prioritized by the reviewers, and if you
really piss them off, I imagine that your happy little designs may
find a new home in the beautiful land of /dev/null.
