The want a unified price structure. Originally, all games were supposed to be $5.99 but then that didn't go down well with all collaborators, so a two-tier system was set into place. Everything on the service is either free, $5.99 or $9.99.
The whole point of the service is to provide old games cheap. That's their USP, they don't want to be seen as a Steam or GamersGate competitor.
In short, they sell UAKM cheap because it helps their branding and their customer relationship.

And that's the other part of their USP: No fuss. They will definitely do whatever it takes to make Overseer play straight away on both XP and Vista, no compatibility mode needed.
