I have seen so many articles talking about how publishers screwed over game developers and ruined games with unrealistic expectations and forcing game developers to change product features.

Why are they needed and what do they do? In this day and age of digital releases why is a publisher needed? Do development studios like Killerfish Games make use of publishers? They did extremely well with Cold Waters as well as other games.
