With 38 Studios filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection , Gallogly says it's unlikely taxpayers will be able to avoid having to make good on some of the state's $75 million loan guarantee to the firm. Gallogly said the tab could top $90 million with interest. Gallogly also said she was “not in favor” of the deal when then-Gov.
