But then you'd have to consider the result of that. The target for a toy line of Cave story would probably end up being basement nerds, but parents would see them and buy them for their kids, without even knowing what cave story is. Now, this wouldn't happen in most circumstances, but there is a chance that the child who now owns that toy has an older sibling. Now this is just a generalization, but the school i go to is full of ignorant, brainwashed, meme-creating idiots in denial of anything of quality (AKA middle school students of the twenty first century), so i'm just going to assume that that goes the same for a majority of the child population in America and Canada. The older sibling would then google what Cave Story is, read a quarter of a summary of the game (because reading is considered a bad thing nowadays for some reason), then think it's on the same level of Life Is Strange. They would then start making retarded jokes about it in a immature fashion, officially making Cave Story a meme around their school. Not only would this just be annoying, but it would actually discourage people to play Cave Story. In the beginning of the school year, we were required to make a presentation on something that was important to us and why it has significance. While everyone just made joke presentations about Fortnite and Pokemon go, i made a presentation on my entire history with Cave Story, the mod i was making at the time (which i have now abandoned), my overall love for the game, and more crap that i don't want to add to this post to make it any longer. What ended up happening was i turned Cave Story into a meme for a couple of months, making the second i walked into the doors of the school unbearable. I'm glad that is over now, but the eight painful hours of hearing terrible jokes over the course of two months (and knowing it was because of me) was painful enough, i don't think i could bare to see it even more on a larger scale
