SouthPeak claims creditors used press to 'paint a negative picture' of the company

Throughout 2009 and 2010, SouthPeak's legal struggles made headlines. From the
sweeping claims of unpaid work following
the buyout of Gamecock Media Group to
the lawsuits brought on by various companies that had done business with SouthPeak, a less than favorable image of the Texas-based game publisher had been created. In a recent interview with
GamesIndustry.biz, SouthPeak chairman Terry Phillips defended his company, claiming creditors "used the press to try to put pressure on us; to try to squeeze a better deal out of us; to try to paint a negative picture of us."
"You read a lot of it and you just think we've had a terrible year on the legal side," Terry Phillips added, "but we've not had one single substantive judgment against us whatsoever this year." He cited a French court's ruling in favor of SouthPeak over developer Nobilis, which granted the publisher "all rights on future [
My Baby] games." Needless to say, SouthPeak is hoping for a sunnier 2011, as it expands the availability of
Two Worlds 2, continues growing the
My Baby family, and works with Nvidia to bring Tegra 2-powered games to Android devices.
