Nope!... But deep down inside I wish it was :(

Gah!... Don't even get me started on how badly Kojima has been back stabbed by Konami this year. RIP Metal gear - 1987-2015.

A technical sidenote not going to be interesting to most people:
The Playism Japanese site has fixed up all the dubious URLs from the previous update (initially their URLs were purely based on game names, e.g. "playism.jp/games/th14/"; in the update they switched to URLs based on game numbers, e.g. "playism.jp/game/296/touhou-kishinjo").
The Touhou category "playism.jp/games/dong-fang" is now "playism.jp/games/touhou_project".
"playism.jp/game/342/dong-fang-hong-hui-xin" is now "playism.jp/game/342/touhou-koukishin".
The platformer category "playism.jp/games/puratutohuoma" has been altogether removed.
"Sensei, what is a puratutohuoma?"
akj:
The amount of not-quite-English English and inexplicable Chinese in something as major as Touhou is quite amusing, to say the least.
I mean, seriously, why a Chinese reading of a very well-known Japanese game being sold to Japanese or English speaking people!? Utterly bizzare.

A mistake professionals should not make: a "prequel" is not an earlier episode, it's a later episode that takes place chronologically earlier,

By the by, most of the previously mentioned not-quite-English English had been corrected on DDC's page, barring the use of prequel.
They could've said "without having played any of the previous games in the series" or something instead. I'm beginning to wonder if Playism has an English editor on board.
