Publishers are kinda useless tbh.

I think there are some exceptions. Like Kitfox publishing Dwarf Fortress. Taking weird little indies and giving them an art / usability budget to become more accessible and, in turn, make the OG devs a bunch of money. Nobody loses.

As much as I hate Epic, they gave Remedy a lot of money through the publishing deal like likely made Alan Wake 2 possible.

They provide upfront funding and marketing to projects that otherwise wouldn't be viable
