Is having a Publisher as a solo dev a good thing? - Lemmy.World

I am genuinely asking… I am a solo dev more than 10 years now and I always publish my own games first years on mobiles and the last years on consoles and steam. Things are going smoothly (most of the times) but I always was wondering about this. Eg: The last 2.5 years I have been making a game alone called ‘Educational Family Games’ and it will release soon. I will publish it myself. It’s the best thing I have made so far and I was wondering if publishing my own is a bad idea. Do any of you have experience with other publishers for indies? 1) Do they drive much more sales. 2) Do they actually do good marketing. 3) Does it worth it to give them half the revenue? Any good publishers?

I don’t know anything about the industry but I know the guy who made Stardew Valley was a one man show. Concerned Ape.

I believe it’s possible but is a steep hill to climb.

I have climbed many such hills. Know the drill but just wondered if having a publisher would provide much more exposure and will worth it.
