Why this game cost $34.99 (usd) i remember when zun that any touhou fan game must be free, what happened to that?

>> No.20843363

>>20843352
I dont recall that ever being the case. Allowing fangames to be sold on Steam and whatnot is a new thing but even when it was just selling them exclusively at Comiket doujin circles have always been allowed to make money off their work.

It doesn't have to be free but you can't crowdfund to make the game

No, he just said the game must be made by your own money and effort aka no crowdfund

That is a doujin game made by a circle entirely separate from zun. They made the game and put the game up for sale at whatever cost they want. What makes you think zun has any say in that?

gee i don't know anon, maybe it has to do with all those copyright laws and whatnot, like using someone's else's intellectual property and making money from it

While it may be true that some doujin content does technically infringe on copyright (though neither law enforcement nor the copyright holders ever enforce these laws), this is not the case for Touhou. ZUN gives his express permission to use his intellectual property in this way so as long as you do not break the rules in his guidelines (which are effectively his terms an conditions that you are agreeing to way you create fanworks) then fan creations of Touhou do not infringe on any copyright laws.

>>20846892
>He got too greedy
Ah yes, greed is what drove his decision to let content creators make money off of their own work using his world and characters. Lets ignore the fact that he doesn't make a dime off of the selling of fanworks and realistically loses alot of potential income from his relaxed rules on fan content.

It all goes to the devs (though obviously the platform they sell on takes their cut). ZUN doesnt make anything from fangames. Hell, im not even sure he makes money off of the fighting games since he considers them to be Tasofro's games and not his.

2hu doujin games have been sold for years on jp sites.

i remember zun stepping in and shutting down that western smash 2hu clone that was doing crowdfunding but he doesnt care as long as people make it out of their own pocket, or atleast dont be public about how they are getting the funds.

That was violating a ton of things without even considering Touhou in the first place, so it would've been taken down anyway

"making money from it" is essentially never relevant when it comes to copyright issues. It can be used as an argument when arguing about fair use but that's about it.

I wish more people would learn from him. Crowdfunding is fucking cancer and shoyld be erradicated, but of course it's profitable and for reason people LOVE having that " I want to give money out to random retards without really caring about consequences" mentality. And then they get fucked over and over again.

Is the game even good? I'm kind of tempted by the Switch version.

>> No.20863205

>>20862715
It just depends on how you feel about Mystery Dungeon-style roguelikes. I think it's one of the best games in that sub-genre, but it's not going to appeal to everyone.
