Loki Files For Chapter 11 Protection
yamla writes: "Loki is dead!" and points to a Linux Review article which says the gaming company has filed for protection from creditors under bankruptcy laws. Yamla continues: "Read about it here. This is terrible news! I have paid for some of their games and they were always at least as good as the Windows versions. I hope Loki can pull out of bankruptcy and keep going but if not, it will be our loss." There is also a story at LinuxToday (pointed out by reader Beee) which draws from the Linux Review report. Meanwhile, the Loki site appears business-as-usual. Filing for bankruptcy protection is not the same as being "out of business," but it's uncomfortably close.
It just occurred to me that they may just be filing Chapter 11 to get people to buy more games from them. Hell, it worked on me, I just bought two games from them.
My only political goal is to see to it that no political party achieves its goals.
I suppose we could have also saved pets.com if every Slashdot reader had bought just one 50-pound sack of dog food
I bought a 50 pound bag of dog food, and I tell you what it sucked ass. I mean it didn't even taste like real dog, more like fake filler substance and beef. I had to make meatloaf out of it and smoother it ketchup to just get it down.

Most of these target people probably... did not play games as a primary occupation.

Naturally... Everyone knows that professional video game players only use the Windows platform.

I'm surprised usually the accountant is the last employee.

Thank God the parent was modded up as informative. If people were to rely on submitter and editor commentary, they'd think Chapter 11 == Out of Business.
Stop /.-ing the site for people who are there to buy them!

Umm... is this "+1, funny" or "-1, offtopic"? :)
If everyone you know is buying Loki titles then why do you think they went out of business? I think theres exaggeration in both of these posts.. But I tend to agree with the first post more. With napster and gnutella hitting our society people are more than ever resitant to purchase anything for their home PC. The big business in software is for large businessess. Maybe start marketing games to them ;) I know I'd play them at work.
Will they call their joint venture Noki or will they call it Lokia.
Every once in a while I like to masturbate a new word into my vocabulary, even if I don't know what it means.
