*current wearing silly hat*

ZUN has woken up and realized how far it his franhcise has evolved without him. It makes sense; last I checked he works for a game developing company  and makes games in his free time between drinks, he probably doesn't have much time to keep a pulse on his creation/monster.

*puts serious hat on*

This is a valid point, but I think he's only considering the doujin makers in his home country when he made this rule. Leaving this point aside, there's a possible misundering here. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but has our Kannushi even acknowledged his western fans? It's possible he hasn't even considered his western market when making these rules. Maybe he's not against westerners making works using his franchise and using their main channels of distribution; maybe he hasn't even thought about us or considered the possibility of us creating anything of worth.

One of the things that makes touhou great is the artistic freedom, ZUN has created a framework for all that we love. I'm concerned these rules might break what makes touhou great.
Recon 5:
This isn't going to change anything for anyone, not even the big commercial entities. ZUN has complained about this kind of thing more than once before but he has yet to take any action. All he's doing is voicing his tacit disapproval. People may sit up and take notice, but in the end if they decide to ignore him and proceed with whatever they were originally planning nothing much is going to happen.

So why are they numbered in order with everything else, despite the unusual system? If they really were a completely different series, explain Suika showing up at all in StB, Double Spoiler and SA.

Again this is MY personal opinion.  I think there's a difference between a fully ZUN made game and a game made by Tasofro with ZUN providing creative input.  I NEVER said they weren't part of the main series, I never made any "canon" arguments, just that ZUN didn't make them.  Why are you making such a big deal about this?  Does it really matter?
N-Forza:
That's what I assumed you meant by "separate series", not related to the main story/canon at all.
