With all the recent attempts to demand an "upgrade fee" (or flat up asked to rebuy at full price) on PC for AI slop ports and glorified 64-bit patches [as if we were on consoles with no communities maintaining and upgrading old releases], it's good to get some straight up proper updates provided to existing owners (& to spur on new sales).
"Zero Rebuying: If you already own any Wing Commander title on GOG, the corresponding Anniversary Pack is already sitting on your digital shelf for no cost."

I'm not against charging for added content but it's often hard to do a repackage release on top of a new patch that allows partial ownership (much easier to bundle in all content & make that a single thing) so for technical reasons upgrading all existing owners to the new "complete edition" with any new content may be the easiest way to avoid effectively demanding payment to patch older PC games to keep them working correctly (especially eg 64-bit patches).
