WishMakers:

--- Quote ---So how's this work?

If I had a Touhou fangame, would I just need to submit it to Valve, and then it'd free for anyone to buy as if it was any other game and ZUN wouldn't do anything about it? (or at least as long as I don't do something really stupid like claiming the intellectual property is mine and stuff)
--- End quote ---

I would assume that's how it works. Unless the guidelines on ZUN's website are updated and there's a specific way of going about it, that's a fairly logical conclusion to draw from the slides.

SuperVehicle-001:
It just strikes me as too simple, somehow. But if that's how ZUN wants to go about it then I guess that's okay.

N-Forza:
Presumably, yes. Just mention it's a derivative work and you should be clear.

Drake:
And y'know don't run afoul of other obvious things like not using other people's content.

Drake:
I've been meaning to go back and listen to the last Nikenme for a while because ZUN talked about the Steam release there. Starts at 31:00.

Here's some paraphrasing, but my listening comprehension sucks and ZUN mumbles a lot so it's difficult to hear what he's saying most of the time. I only went through a couple minutes; I'll probably just wait for littletrailhand to summarize, whenever they get around to it.

O: Tenkuushou has, at the time, 3200 reviews.
Z: Woah, that many?
O: When I first looked it was around 2000, but when I checked today there were 3170 reviews. Out of those reviews... the number that did not recommend was only something like 26 (laugh)
Z: (laugh)
O: "Overwhelmingly Positive" (laugh)
Z: Wonderful.
O: For matter out of the non-recommendations there was only one in Japanese.
Z: (laugh)
O: But really, there were only about 40~50 reviews in Japanese, and the rest were non-Japanese.
Z: Well, people outside Japan can buy it now.
O: That's what I'm saying, yeah. If you look, many of the reviews say stuff like "Now I can finally give ZUN money".
Z: Ah, nice. [mumbles something about people giving money, both laugh]

Z: The most important thing here is that this is the first time for a lot of people that they can officially buy the games.
O: Before Steam there was Kishinjou on Playism... (laugh)
Z: [something about playism]
O: But this is the first time you can buy directly, so to speak.
Z: [something about steam and foreign languages]
O: [something about only speaking japanese]
O: A lot of the reviews came from Asia; China and Korea...
Z: Well really the first time I said I wanted to bring the games to Steam would have been Atlanta, probably.
O: What year was that? (laugh)
Z: 2013, I think? So four years ago.
