Publishing Bureaucracy for indie games

I'd like to know from someone with a good experiencie... How is the publishing bureaucracy for indie games out there?

I'm truly focused in putting a big effort in developing a really great and complete game to have a nice chance in order to sell on Steam platform. However, I don't know either if this is just a dream or a possibility.

Thanks in advance.

This tutorial has a small quip about it.
