Quite the deal for lugheads. Get your copy of Tribes 2. Loki continues to do really good things. I know things are tough, but hopefully they can make it. Good luck guys.

  1. Not very impressed AT ALL by michaelsimms · · Score: 5
    As CEO of a company that has just shelled out MANY thousands of dollars on copies of Tribes 2 and Alpha Centauri, I was less than impressed to see Loki was selling to every LUG at a price LOWER than they are selling to their resellers. I can tell yuo for a FACT that Tux Games dos NOT get discounts like this, and we have been ordering Tribes 2 and Alpha by the hundred, not by the ten.
    Loki has of yet not responded to my demand for an explaination, but I think this is NOT the way to win loyalty in resellers. If they charge LUGs less money than they charge resellers, the resellers may as well just pack up shop and go home.

    Suffice to say, we arent best pleased at this news. All well and good to give discounts to LUGs, but please, lower than the resellers?? Thats a great way to kill your reseller channel stone dead! </rant-mode>
