Loki Speaks up on Chapter 11
The following is an email sent by Scott Draeker of Loki
Dear Friend of Loki:
As you may know, on August 3, 2001, Loki filed a Chapter 11 reorganization. As our valued customer, we wanted to let you know why we have elected to reorganize and how, if at all, it will impact our ongoing business.
Under US law there are two kinds of bankruptcy:
- Chapter 7 is a liquidation. We have not filed a Chapter 7 and have no intention of doing so.
- Chapter 11 is a reorganization. This will allow us to deal with our creditors fairly and equitably and at the same time continue to operate the company. We are still shipping products and porting new games and expect to be doing so for a long, long time.
Most of the debts we are restructuring through the Chapter 11 are well over a year old. They represent mistakes made by a young company. We've learned from our mistakes and become cash positive. Going forward we have every confidence that Loki will continue to be successful and grow.
We cannot say for certain how long Loki will remain in Chapter 11. It depends on many factors. However we do intend to bring the process to a conclusion as quickly as possible. Once our plan of reorganization is accepted by the court, our creditors will receive an agreed upon settlement and all other prepetition obligations will be fully and finally discharged.
During and after the reorganization your orders will continue to be honored. We will continue to provide end user support, bug fixes and new products. Negotiations are in progress to guarantee Loki a steady stream of additional AAA games to bring to Linux.
Most importantly, we'd like to thank each of you for your support over the years. Without our customers, we are nothing. The outpouring of support we have received in the last few days has been overwhelming, and we will continue to do everything we can to merit that support.
Kind regards,
Scott Draeker
President, Loki Software
LOL!!! :-)
This is funny. Mod this up.
Jew bastards!!!!!
Yo, idiot! Over here you moron. In porting a game, you can oftentimes take time to clean up crappy code, buggy operation, and screwed up grammar mistakes and turn the 'new' product into a better version of the original. So yes, it is possible for Loki games to run better on a Linux machine.
figured i'd be able to play tribes 2 in linux, since i had heard it was done. I didn't realize the windows cd isn't patchable (like q3a is). - Wow, you really did your homework on that one. You heard a rumor and took it as fact?
And after spending 70$ on the win version, i figured i may as well say in win than move to linux and pay it again. - 1, you got royally ripped on the purchase price of the Windows game (I've never payed more than $52 for a brand-spanking new game), and 2, Linux and Windows are two completely different OS's. Just because Wine has managed to emulate Windows API calls under Linux is no guarantee that Windows programs should work in Linux. I'm no Linux expert, but I'm at least smart enough to realize utter stupidity like yours when I see it.
yay!
Kiss my pasty ass!!

Congratulations, you get the 'Most Moronic Post of the Day' award.
Moderators, show this guy to the door.
Please, do not moderate this guy up. He makes claims which are NOT true, and is basically talking out of his ass.
Yeah, and when was the last time you saw a Wang for sale?

What do want me to do about it, suck my own cock? Moron! I have half a mind to speak to your lawyer, felch-feet. Ha!
Just last night. Then again, I do live in San Francisco.
I think you've been trolled. Remember, the amount of repetitive punctuation is inversely proportional to the intelligence of the poster.
