How to publish a game?
Can I publish my game on Steam for free? I understand that if I publish the game, then the marketing of the game is completely on me. Are there any other disadvantages?

It is possible, but not completely free, you still have to pay some money, at least for a fee, perhaps for creating a legal entity. Open the Steam Direct page and read.
Publishers are very different, some only eat your IP, others advertise your game, help with money, advice, localization. It all depends on the contract that you conclude with the publisher, so it's hard to talk about the minuses. Without a publisher, you will have to personally deal with the press, resolve all legal issues, and generally put your game in the public eye and take care of its well-being. The publisher can cover you from all this, and you will just rivet games and not think about anything, but it’s not a fact that this will happen, and it’s not a fact that you need it at all. Watch the talks on the GDC channelabout publishing games, a lot will immediately become clear.
