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. :)
Very cool of GOG to do this. I have Alpha Centauri here and never got to play Alien Crossfire back in the day.
This is wonderful, please keep it up, and thanks for helping make these holidays a bit happier, GOG. :)
Have all three games, thank you GOG for bringing the expansions here too.
Excellent!

qumqam: I hate to bite the hand that gives and this is really generous and great news, but:

Could you please make the vanilla Alpha Centauri also available for separate download?

I'm thrilled to get Alien Crossfire for free, but I personally prefer the base game. I'll burn my previously downloaded installer to CD but the whole point of Gog is that I shouldn't have to.

Rodzaju: When you run the installer, in the options you can choose whether to add Alien Crossfire or not.
If you add them both it's still good as it installs in such a way that you can run each game separately.
Damn yeah! This really does make me want to spend more money at this site, even If I've already got multiple copies of a game!

Never change gog...never change.
For those that Use Steam as a launcher:

(saw one ages ago, but can't find it anymore, so made one)
Cool! I'm a completionist, and it's fantastic that people at GOG understand :)

The addition of speech packs for MM5 and MM6 would have been worth an announcement as well :)
FINALLY! WING COMMANDER WITH ALL ADDONS! THANKS V. MUCH!
Awesome gift! I love guys guys!

And hats off to EA for letting us have this stuff.
Thank you :)

Didn't know you could run it through Steam, cool. I tried to run M&M7 through Steam once, which did not work at all.
Thanks GOG and EA for coming through with Alien Crossfire... AND A FREE UPDATE TO BOOT!!! Merry Christmas guys.
Thank you and merry christmas!!

benmar: Other digital distributors may have more (modern) games, but GOG.com has clearly the bigger heart.

tfishell: Shoot, I'm glad GOG doesn't focus on modern titles (aside from indies, who I justify often as being in the spirit of the classics here.) That may well change, which would make a sad panda, but I'm sure many would be excited for the DRM-free-ness.
Thankfully not all new games that GOG releases are "indie" there are also AAA games like the Alan Wake games, hopefully there will be more those. If GOG were to release Crysis 3 and/or FarCry 3 and/or Assassin's Creed 3 tommorow I would buy them in a hearthbeat from GOG.
