Greenlit, now what?
So I recently got greenlit :), now comes the task of setting up vat and getting a build ready for Steam.
I've obtained the W-7 and 8233 Form. My first question is how long does the entire process take after sending the documents to the IRS?
I also don't really have the need to integrate Steamworks, is this a requirement though?
Lastly, I'm using Unity Free, does Steam require a Unity Pro version build?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Not at all needed.
Steam doesn't, no, but if you have a runaway hit and suddenly make a bucketload of cash, Unity might require you upgrade to Pro. I believe it's somewhere in their terms.
As for the wait, I'm not sure. Things have also changed since we first got onto Steam.
So I got approved and access to the Steam partner site. Set up my page etc. but now I have another question.
I'm using Unity so I have included DirectX, .Net3.5 and VC2012. This raises the download size quite significantly considerng the size of the game on its own. Do I really need to include all these?
Except for Linux. Because Linux is shit.

Ditto on the linux being shit. Already had a complaint :(
Thanks for all the help guys, I must say, I was heavily intimidated by the entire process, but it was actually quite easy. So to anyone else out there looking to make a game, getting on Steam has become a lot easier! I think we should be seeing the "new self-publishing system" pretty soon...
The fact that it's got your game marked with "requires third party EULA" and that's not visible on other games is maybe a clue? ;)
QCF was super excited to make our Steam pages for Desktop Dungeons. That shit was magical.
Yes. Correct. However... admin work... is not working on a game. Its admin work. Everyone loves a party. No one likes cleaning up afterwards.
