2257 2 2002-01-24 00:44:51 As you may have heard by now, there's a rumor afoot that our favorite for-profit enterprise, <a href="http://www.lokigames.com">Loki Entertainment Software</a>, will suspend operations on January 31. The source of the rumor is <a href="http://www.fuckedcompany.com/extras/loki_email.cfm">this message</a>, said to be an email from Loki president Scott Draeker to resellers of Loki games. If this is true, well, you know. Thanks for everything, Loki, we'll miss you. <p> This might be a good time to rush over to <a href="http://www.lokigames.com/orders/">Loki's online store</a> or <a href="http://www.tuxgames.com">Tux Games</a> and snag those titles you don't have yet, before they're gone forever. <p> Thanks <a href="mailto:john@heidingsfelder.org">John Heidingsfelder</a> for the first heads up. <p> <b>Update:</b> Scott Draeker responded to a query I made with this confirmation: <blockquote><i> Yes, it's true. We are shutting down. At this point all I can say is 'whew, glad that's over'! </i></blockquote> There's more information from Mr. Draeker in <a href="http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=02/01/24/2118235">this interview at NewsForge</a>. <p> Darn it all anyway. Loki's demise default
