Still bad advice.

For one thing, it prevents people from actually finding your stuff on Google if your thing shares its name with a game by an industry legend, and a highly acclaimed game dev studio, and a predecessor of the most sold indie game in history

I'd like to point out that there are 2 games with a similar name that I am aware of. "The Cave" by Double Fine, and "Cave Game" (an early Minecraft build). There are other games with "Cave" in their name, of course, but these are the most salient ones.

If you are aware of any game called "Cave", I would appreciate a link.

Thank you :)

For purposes of trademark law, "Cave" and "The Cave" are far too close for comfort, imo.

If I search for "Cave" on Google, I'll get the geological thing. If I search "cave game" instead - whoops, I get the Minecraft thing. And also "Cave, The".

There's also the game studio CAVE, known for their shmups of course.

So this is an absolute nightmare in terms of findability (deliberately avoiding the term "SEO" here - this isn't SEO, it's just avoiding a massive footgun).


i feel the same about names better to have a original name
