A few years back, Merge had cash games for HORSE, Stud, Razz, and Badugi, although never any SNG's that I know of. They also had tournaments for all of those games long ago, but today only the HORSE and Stud tourneys are still around.
The reason those games disappeared is, not just on Merge but on all sites, they have only a small amount of players compared to Hold Em and Omaha. As people have continued to leave Merge, the number of players for those games was so few that they just quit offering them.
I love playing games other than Hold Em and Omaha, but as a US based player I'm not aware of any internet site that I can play on for cash that offers them. In order to be able to play these other games, I play for free chips on Poker Stars. Even there, the free chip offerings only have a few ring games for Stud, Badugi, Razz and 8-game, and one SNG each for Stud, HORSE, 8-game and Badugi. No tourneys for anything except Hold Em. For me the best (even though US players could only play for free chips) was when Full Tilt was still separate from Poker Stars after both sites started running again after Black Friday, and they offered 10-game
