“…it wasn’t long after becoming a dedicated Linux user that
Draeker noticed there were very few good games available for the
platform. He became obsessed with the idea of founding a company
that would bring PC games over to Linux.”
“Draeker and Lantinga knew they were gambling with their
futures. And they named their company, Loki Entertainment Software,
after the trickster god in Norse mythology who brings either
glorious success or utter chaos, depending on his mood of the
day.”
“Draeker believes that… Linux will be a superior gaming
platform to Windows and that the same game will run faster, more
responsively, and more reliably on the same hardware under
Linux.”
