Your game has to bring money - and marketing is in the centre of success. Very good point. @GBP: Yes, that’s actually a very big point (which is partially linked to risk #2).

Without exposure of the game brand and feautures, all of the developers hard work would be undone. A product will never sell itself and running a blog or internet site does not guarentee exposure. Exposure is something you really need to work on, almost as much as the project itself. Being aware of basic marketing strategy will get you very far, and this strategy does not have to be a thorough understanding of the 4 or seven of how may other P's there are. All one needs is a common sense approach. Would you consider Marketing or the more general term, exposure as an 8th risk factor?
