I can dispute this claim that "ZUN isn't doing this for the money." If he really wanted fans to play his games he wouldn't charge money for his games at the cons. Also, if you recall his comments during the day the Touhou anime got released, ZUN said he didn't like big projects like that, because it discourages the smaller projects.

>But still we have to give him some credit, without him being the original creator we wouldn't have so much doujins stuff to immerse ourselves with him.
Stuff created by the fans != stuff created by ZUN. Here's a philosophical conundrum that will make you realize how much ZUN has used you. Touhou was created in such a way where the characters and stories had room for improvement (i.e., templates). Games like Metal Gear on the other hand have (virtually) no room for improvement. The reason why you see hundreds of different interpretations of the characters is because they've never been officially defined. Now if ZUN was to sell out like so many Anons have suggested in this thread, the Touhous would be given canon plots and personalities (kinda like the Touhou anime). ZUN realizes the second he sells out it will mark the end of the Touhou fanbase. It's the software equivalent of GNU/Linux selling out their software rights to Micro$oft.

It's sad that obnoxious fanboys such as the op never realized this.

4chan is pretty popular but do you see moot making money off of it?
