This saves clients traffic — sometimes traffic which the client is paying for. All of this means that it will be more costly because of the growing hardware requirement and a little bit faster. It may appear that the game is not worth the candle. And even then, you should keep in mind that because of the Node.js

Instead of scaling up, where you buy more powerful and expensive hardware, you scale out by having more servers processing messages. But maybe I get delayed in traffic or wait until the end of that Game of Thrones episode I'm watching for the tenth time. Unfortunately it makes ordered delivery virtually impossible to support.
