Entity Objects, Entity Files or Legacy player data
Currently evaluating the best way to store player data in PlayFab for our game. I noticed the new entity system and I'd like to use it, the problem is as follows:
Player save is made of 10 JSON from 500 bytes to 3 KB.
Since the entity objects max count on my plan is 5 I could merge the data to only have 5 JSON but the limit of 1000 bytes per entity object will be exceeded by 1 to 3 KB.
What would be the best way in your opinion ? I could store those 10 JSON as entity files but since it's not even 5 KB for each file it would not meet the ideal requirements for using entity files.
Should I use the legacy player data key/value in this case ? Thanks

The Entity Objects are used to read and write small JSON-serializable objects attached to an entity. Yes, you could use the Key/Value pair data or entity files to store the data instead. Entity files allow you to read and write files attached to an entity in any format. Player data allows you to store Key/Value pair data for players, there are 3 modes of access to player data which allows you to control the access of the data. You can choose either of them based on what you are trying to achieve. For more detail please refer to: Entity objects, Entity files, Player Data.
I'll use Player data then since entity objects 1000 bytes limit is too small. Thanks
