All these Jap cames coming to PC...

What started this trend? Big jap publishers used to hate PC, now there's all kinds of games coming out on steam. Did Gaben strike some kind of deal?

Well the PS4 is x86 so porting from that is now easier for the devs.
I think that the Dark Souls PC port selling well and being fixed by the community had an impact as well, it's one of the earliest of these Jap ports I can recall.
Also they probably saw Valkyria Chronicles smashing the projected sales and becoming number 1 on Steam.

It's been happening way before Valkyria Chronicles came out. I think the first weeaboo targeted game to do really well on steam was Recettear way back in 2010.

Valve did something smart for once. The PC market in Japan seems to be becoming more and more mainstream. I bet Valve shoehorned their way in as quickly as they could to block out any serious competition from Nexon or Perfect World.

It would have been absolute hell if the majority of Japanese games to be released on PC somehow went through Perfect World or Nexon.

I could see it happening. Japanese publishers wont bother with online distribution until it's too late because they don't care, while gook companies already hold a strong share of the MMO scene and already have the infrastructure. Remember that Valve outsourced Dota 2 to Perfect World in China and Nexon in Korea and Japan.
