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.

If every person who reads /. could just go buy one game
Er ... I don't even play games. Probably the majority of Slashdot readers don't play games. Why the hell should we buy them?
I suppose we could have also saved pets.com if every Slashdot reader had bought just one 50-pound sack of dog food.
