These games didn't have been updated even if gog displayed soon.

It was just to coincide with steam release because these 25 games were not available on steam before yesterday.

The only games that have been updated are wingo commanders game and privateer 2. The only new game on gog is road rash.

I did a poor job of compressing the multitude of Wing Commander CIC posts. I have made some edits to better clarify. Sorry about that.

I included the platform announcements since they made it clear what users would see on particular platforms.

Same here.

Also, I've started the EA launcher. I've own few games (mostly giveaways), but the status seem like on GoG (WC3 upgraded, Crusader: No remorse, Ultima VIII and Theme Hospital are not).

The EA launcher only lists as owned the "anniversary" editions, but GoG shows both "legacy" and "anniversary" editions. At least the GoG "anniversary" edition of Wing Commander also includes the DOS game files (IDK about the EA or steam ones), so they can be run on older systems.

Also, it seems that WC is the same DOS game but including two community patches? As if it was a cheap repackaging of other people's efforts?
