Need more Options for Compendium sharing due to fact that exceeding the limit eliminates the option completely

I am moving towards "West Marches" style games and I am getting momentum with groups as large as 20+ people, unfortunately the compendium sharing limit in the PRO subscription version is limited to 15 people (less for other subscriptions but sometimes you have to pony up), and if I exceed that many people in the game then NOBODY gets access to it. There isn't another option above PRO so now I am stuck splitting the people into two different games. I would like to suggest giving the option to select who in the game has access to the compendium sharing which can be managed by the game creator. 15 slots to give out, anyone else will either need to have their own subscription or use their own reference material. In my case some of the people have hardcover books and know how to fill out the character sheets and/or have their own subscription. I could share access to the compendium content with new players and other players who have their own access could take advantage of their subscription in my game. I just hate the fact that if i invite more than 15 people to my game that I won't be able to share the compendium with ANY  of them because I am over the limit.

I would be open to purchasing another 15 player and another 5 game slots for compendium sharing (begrudgingly)

We have a west marches campaign and use a 'central hub' campaign for all 60+ characters of all 60+ players.  This campaign had compendium sharing set upon creation time and up till now all players and weekly new players are still able to use the shared assets in the compendium (and the charactermancer). My guess is that the limits are only tested when the GM turns on compendium sharing.

If what you say is true then there isn't a problem at all. Fingers crossed it is the same when I try.
Or maybe be allowed to allocate more than one of your shared games to a single game. So you could allocate 15 players at a time, so that you are still limited to the overall limit of 3 x 10 pools with PLUS and 5 x 15 pools with PRO. If you want 60-75 players in a single campaign, then you could allocate all your PRO sharing to that one campaign.
