Because we like you so, we have a gift for you.

A while back, we started to sell EA games--great classics such as Wing Commander, Privateer, and Alpha Centauri. A few people--just a few!--noted that we didn't have the expansions and that made them sad panda.

Well, panda, be sad no more! As a holiday gift from us to you, we're bringing everyone who bought (or buys in the future!) the expansions for Wing Commander 1 + 2, Wing Commander Privateer, and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri for you today! These expansions are free updates, so just download the new installers for each game from your account and start playing now! Note that these EA games will not be part of any Daily Deal bundle, so go ahead and pick them up now for only $2.99 each.

The expansions are:
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri--Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.
Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire brings you seven new factions (two that are non-human), new technologies, new facilities, new secret projects, new alien life forms, new unit special abilities, new victory conditions (including the new "Progenitor Victory") and several additional concepts and strategies, making it a "must-have" expansion for the award-winning game.

Wing Commander 1 + 2--Wing Commander: The Secret Missions, Wing Commander: The Secret Missions 2 Crusade, Wing Commander II: Special Operations 1, Wing Commander II: Special Operations 2.
The Wing Commander expansions bring new missions, new ships, a new storyline, and an increase in difficulty in The Secret Missions, and in Secret Missions 2: Crusade, we see a whole new alien race, a new challenge, and a mysterious defection all raising the stakes of both the game's storytelling and its combat. In Wing Commander II: Special Operations 1 we see a layered web of deceit, lies, betrayal, and action all bringing that trademarked Wing Commander cinematic feel, while Special Operations 2 sees the player ambushed while escorting a traitor, and soon the player (as Col. Blair) will find himself undertaking one of his most dangerous missions of all: an undercover one infiltrating the very traitors he was escorting in the first place!

Wing Commander Privateer--Privateer Righteous Fire.
Finally, in Righteous Fire the player squares off against a crazy fundamentalist sect called the Retros as the open-ended space sim world's story continues with more action, ships, and missions to keep player occupied for hours.

A special thanks goes out to Paul Barnett and Jeff Skalski at Mythic (@MythicNews) for their help getting these add-ons secured (finally!) and available to you. :)

timppu: Maybe you were referring to some other Ubisoft games, but those two titles are the Ubisoft titles I'm most interested in getting the expansions to GOG. :)
I saw them being sold on Steam, meaning Ubisoft probably wants to get money for them. GOG doesn't have a history of charging for non-standalone expansions, so it may be the core of the problem.

Ghorpm: Actually I really appreciate your heads-up! Thanks a lot! I guess it was a good example of transference on my side ;) Some tweets really annoy me because they are unnecessarily vague and I vented my anger on Jeff and most probably he couldn't make it clear, just as you explained. Once again, sorry for that.
If you add the tweet I posted to the tweet he posted, it's not that vague, really.

After seeing the thread title I had to look really fast at the front page, but yeah, nothing new xD Thanks for the news though!

Maybe, but naturally it would have been nice if GOG had secured the complete Gold versions of both games, which include all the expansion packs.

Anyway, I personally would be ready to pay a couple of peanuts for the expansion packs, even separately.

EDIT: The Ghost Recon expansions are indeed quite pricey on Steam, each costing the same as the Ghost Recon base game by itself. Hmmm...
