I never played Syndicate but knowing that UU 1 & 2 will be delisted from GOG… Oh boy, what a bad, sad news 
I played them both. Great games!

That's awful news, more so for those unfortunate that have yet to ever play them. They'll not know what they're missing.
I'd love to see these remastered, but I'm not holding my breath.

Maybe they'll be on Origin. You can say "ew, Origin", but that's a separate thing from being able to play them.

UU2 and U8 were my first games after I moved from Amiga to PC. I loved them and although I do not replay these games anymore, it would be nice to keep them available as part of the gaming history. Who knows what are EA plans, but hopefully they are just moving them to Origin. Wouldnt count on remaster as that would take some effort and some risk, which I dont expect from EA.

That is SO sad, UU is one of my most favourite games. The day I saw it on GOG my heart jumped, got it and replayed it, and I still had fun despite the controls
You can still buy them. In fact as of today, they are on sale for under $2.00. So if you haven't enjoyed these games pick them up today at GOG. As long as you purchase them before they are delisted, they will stay in your library.

That's good to know at least, and yet another reason to adore great old games. At least I'll have them until....whenever!
I guess that EA wants to publish or stream them themselves now.

I'd basically do without the games if my only option was to install the Origin platform on my machine to play them. I'm simply not that desperate.
I remember having tried Underworld long ago.
I just couldn't get myself accustomed to it.
Which is why I never had these two games on my radar.
I had bought the DOS version on a flea market 15 or more years ago. I think I was lucky, then.
