Team Shanghai Alice posted links to the video distribution and derivative works guidelines on September 4, ahead of the September 10 release of Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic. The derivative works guidelines prohibit publishing the ending of the original game.

Streamers must keep the ending out of their broadcasts or edit it out.
The remake updates the 2002 Windows game that had trouble running on current systems. The guidelines were not changed for this release, but the reminder lands a week before launch. The derivative works guidelines list publishing the ending of the original game as a prohibited act.
