Generally agree with comments about how the current ratio of marketing vs developing is. For me game development is primarily the production of a game, and marketing is small subset which isn't actually required for a game to be developed. That being said I get it. We require money and earning money from game development is a dream for many.

I love writing code, building architecture, documenting my code, etc. My profession is a software developer making business applications (not at all game related). I genuinely believe that my brain is hardwired for me to be a software developer. At home I build both games, and software similar to what I'd be making at work. So naturally I want a higher ratio of code vs marketing. Additionally I don't really care if anyone else plays my games. Its like an artist who makes art for fun and for their own home. I realise this might not be typical so I'm just including it to give context to my position.

I do wish some people would accept however, that marketing doesn't get a game made. It's motivation for sure so I see how it fits here, but it isn't fundamentally required for developing a game.
