Agreed. All these factors are necessary when it comes to developing games. It's just that game developers need to strike a balance between the departments mentioned in the poll. Some are able to pull this off and some cannot.

For me, it's different. If I see a cool game trailer without any gameplay mechanics in action, I will be interested, but very much unsure how the whole game plays like. Only when gameplay demonstration videos are released, then I'll decide whether this game is worth looking forward to or not as I've seen first hand how the game works.
