Any insights on advantages and disadvantages of going to a publisher with your new game? What are the best alternatives? Could somebody recommend a good publisher for a strategy-arcade game (sort of an oldie, compared to 3Ds). Thanx, hey.

Well as far as disadvantages of not getting a publisher go, what else will you do? If your game is intended for retail distribution, you simply will not be able to sell it without a publisher.

You can sell it on a download site without one, but the variance is higher. That is, you won't see any advances, and you may or may not end up making more than if you had gone through a publisher with marketing muscle.
