I understand the the expenses involved with this process. While a monthly budget of $500 is certainly not a lot by some standards, it is more than enough. I am not interested in throwing away money just for the sake of bragging rights. In the right hands, $500 a month can be used to produce an outcome of the same, if not better, quality as $1,000, or even $1,500. Furthermore, it is a monthly budget, which means there is no hard-set spending limit. This position is not intended to serve as a job. Compensation is simply a perk. Being paid any amount of money to play a game sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
