When marketing has the decision making and has a bigger budget for advertising and marketing campaigns than the development of the game itself. It happens often now

you do realize marketing is inheritently costly right? that's not new, it's been that way for decades.

also what companies are run by marketing? typically a company (a publisher for example) will set the budgets for marketing, and sometimes marketing costs don't factor in till later on where deals are made.
