Plan out your game better, know what you want to make before you start making it.

New engines and the use of machine learning should help to drastically reduce the cost to make games.
That and the fact that the gaming market is ever growing means this should be a non-issue.

Game developers need to focus on making games that inspire interest and awe to continue to grow the market, and that is pretty much all.

Unfortunately though, it seems like any advancements made in that department is offset by them trying to move the development costs to another aspect of the game, keeping the high, bloated price of making a game. Especially since much of the game's budget is spent on marketing.

Fair enough.
If only all the time and money spent marketing was used on making the games more than mediocre.
