They made  one  fan-based show way back when, before  Youtube  was even a thing. Since then they've done nothing  but  make original works. I dont care, to be honest. I just dont like when homages get so out of hand that what you get famous for is adding to someone elses idea. Imagine if you wrote a story and no one liked it. Buy a fan wrote a fanfic of it and it gets a movie. I would hate that. Everyone should do they own stuff. The reason your totally cool idea isn't getting traction is because you don't have a following, no one knows who you are and/or think your work is mediocre. Fan followings don't often come from a vaccuum. Doing something like RvB (aside from just having fun making a super funny comedy series) allowed them to get a large enough of a fanbase to allow them to fly away from Halo (and eventually RvB...finally!) and do their own cool shit that they made.
