It is unclear if the ability to re-download these titles was removed on either platform after this point. GOG.com forum members continued posting updates on the titles’ availability through January 2010 at which point the games seemed to be available to re-download for those who already owned them. Leading up to this deadline, another forum thread shows GOG.com team members discussing the ongoing work to keep the games on their servers. This would mean that players would no longer be able to download them and the site urged owners to back up their copies of the games before August 29th (for ToCA) and October 29th, 2009 (for Colin McRae). However, the earlier delisting on GOG.com seems to be related to a separate arrangement between the site and Codemasters which would have resulted in the game (along with Colin McRae Rally 2005) being removed from players libraries.Įarlier in 2009 owners of these games received an email from GOG.com explaining that they would not only be removed from sale but also from GOG’s servers.
The delisting was ultimately related to expired licensing between Codemasters and the automobile manufacturers featured in the game. Colin McRae Rally 2005 was delisted from GOG.com no earlier than July 1st, 2009.
