The Whispered World gave the special edition upgrade for free (it should be noted that in the beginning Daedalic wanted to charge for it but latter backed down) which is mostly creator commentary but also a little gameplay in the form of an alternate ending.

Shadow Warrior (2013) added a Directx 11 version with upgraded graphics and two more boss battles.

PaterAlf: We often trash developers who don't keep their GOG versions up-to-date or who charge owners of a game again for extended versions, HD upgrades or who want money for minuscule DLCs.

But there are also developers and publishers who care for their customers, who still patch and extend their games and who give away upgrades and additional levels or DLCs for free.

I think it's time to honor these developers with a GOGmix:

http://www.gog.com/mix/games_that_got_addtional_content_for_free_after_release

So if anyone wants to help me with this mix, please write down in thread which games got additional content after release. I'm mostly looking for gameplay content and free major upgrades, but I may also include free soundtracks, novellas, artbooks and similar stuff.

Games included in the mix so far:

Among the Sleep
Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition
Ether One Redux
Outcast 1.1
Shadowrun: Dragonfall
Unmechanical Extended
Valdis Story: Abyssal City
Quick correction: the old DLC version is still available for those who purchased the DLC version of Shadowrun: Dragonfall :)

I edited the GOGmix to point that out.

Do you know if the original version of Divinity: Original Sin is still available for those who bought the game before the upgrade?

I have both versions on my shelf.

Yes but only those people who bought the game PRIOR to the update will have this version, kind of like the DLC version of Dragonfall being available to those who purchased the DLC before the update to a standalone version :)
The Escapists owners received the Fhurst DLC for free on GOG.com not too long ago :)

It's not actually happened yet... but owners of all three versions of Van Helsing are getting the Final Cut version.

I just found out that I can't rate the games directly in the GOGmix, but have to go to the gamecard and rate the game there instead. Not a good system in my eyes (and also not very intuitive). I would rather rate the quality of the updates in the mix and not the quality of the whole game.

I believe all the old EA games got their expansions after release, unless I am mistaken except perhaps the Ultimas.

Syndicate, Dungeon Keeper, Magic Carpet (been a while since this one...)...

After complaints about the buggy AI in the Windows version, owners of Earth 2140 got the DOS version as an extra.

Star Wars: TIE Fighter and Star Wars: X-Wing got the Collector's Edition versions half a year after their original release here.

No love for FTL? No, there it is. Thought the OP was updated.

LLtQ had some minor bits of content added over the course of several patches.

Odallus: The Dark Call just recently got the Veteran Mode added for free :)

And I believe that the Origins DLC for Starpoint Gemini 2 was added to the game after its initial release :)

Thank you to everybody who reported games so far. Will continue to update the GOGmix tomorrow.

Heroes of Might & Magic II Gold got the Windows version of the game as an added bonus later.

Not sure if this counts but Call of Cthulhu: Prisoner of Ice got the UK-voiced version (thank you banjo_oz!) and the Brazilian-Portuguese version (obrigado Karnak1 !) after release. Although if we were to add every game that got a language version after its initial release, this would make for a rather lengthy GOG Mix so it's up to you, PaterAlf, on what you consider to be worthy to be added :)

I think for the moment I'll go with additional gameplay content or important technical stuff (like added voice acting, mod support, complete graphics overhauls, etc.). Additional languages would really make this GOGmix too long (and maybe even redundant, because it would include most of GOG's catalogue).

Do you know if Lord of the Realms always came with floppy disk and CD version or if the latter was added after release?

You forgot Terraria and FTL. Vertical Drop Heroes on the other hand is an example of content being removed subsequently.
