Idea for continuation of FM (And Ross getting income

[GordonFreeman]

Why doesn't he play the game, script it, then go to a recording studio and only rent it for like 2 hours? That way he doesn't have to continue to dip into fan welfare savings.

From my own perspective:

 

Time disparity. It takes much, much more than two hours to make something; even ignoring the things that would go wrong with foreign equipment in someone else's setup.

 

Non-linear. Only certain formats/styles of production can be made from start to finish in a single go. Others involve multiple stages of correction and idea changes.

 

Risk. If it's not your equipment, then you don't have control over it. This will bite you every time something is changed, and you have to wait for other people to "fix" it (if at all).

 

Heads up: "Why doesn't he just..." style questions can be taken offensively depending on how they are read.
