I've been giving people links to Universal Combat: Gold on Direct2Drive and GamersGate for some time now due to it being cheaper, and having lower system requirements. However now it seems that both D2D and GG has removed all but UCCE and GALCOM:ES from their listings.
Are these permanent removals or temporary, anyone know?
Edit: But it appears Gametap now has Universal Combat Gold.

We removed them from D2D and Gamers Gate because the lower price point didn't make it worth giving a publisher a cut and they are both legacy titles. The closest version to UCG would be A World Apart, and you can buy that directly from us.
Simiilarly, the upcoming UCCE v2 will only be available directly from us.
GameTap has had BCM and UC Gold since 2005. Those rights don't expire until Q4/2010.

Ah, okay. Thanks. 
Its not as important now that UC has a free edition I can link about, but before it was quite useful to give people a lower priced version to try out.
