SouthPeak says CDV dispute is resolved, wasn't cheap

Thank the Gods

Does anyone else feel like this legal battle was a huge waste of time over a really meaningless, generic IP title? It's not like it was exceptionally clever or culturally significant.

Mayhap they can make a good game now.

This particular legal battle was not over IP, but over distribution.

SouthPeak has a 2nd lawsuit (mentioned in the 2nd paragraph), that is still ongoing over the MyBaby franchise. MyBaby is a cash cow. It debuted against a few other baby sims, and beat the others hands down in sales--the other ones tended to be uglier and a little more awkward, and MyBaby debuted at a lower price point too, which it then held without the price reductions common in many titles. It then migrated quickly and successfully to the Wii where it continued to outsell its few competitors. MyBaby looks strong graphically compared to its competitors (even its packaging was a step up), and the gameplay is crazy simple beneath a faux exterior of "simulation"--I believe this gives it a very wide appeal across age groups, and has a nice balance of play vs. reward.

MyBaby, MyBaby! Somebody save MyBaby!

Screw SouthPeak for making Boombots for the PSX. I bought Boombots about 10 years ago thinking it would be pretty good and god that game was so awful.
