[casual_games] What to expect from a publisher

[Miguel Oliveira]

Hello all,
 
it's been very informative to read up on all the insightful email exchange
since this SIG has been started.
 
Now, I have a question of my own.
I see an increased number of games being distributed by publishers such as
GameHouse, iwin or PlayFirst.
What would be the three main reasons/benefits (excluding the obvious one:
cash) for a developer to go with a publisher instead of taking his/her game
to the major portals directly?
 
Have a Happy 2006.
 
Best regards / Beste Grüsse,
 
Miguel Oliveira
