I had it downloaded for free long before it came up in this promotion. I think I was notified by viewing one of Major Nelson’s tweets. It was like a stand-alone promotion.
I played the game! Call me lame if you must but these types of games, I enjoy playing especially when we have company.
I’m not surprised Microsoft are releasing the same game(s) on Xbox One. They are an established technology company and they won’t throw away money… You wasn’t expecting Destiny or The Witcher 3 was you? Although, I do feel that if Microsoft created this “free” games programme, they should really set the games to be chosen at random using a RNG. It’s their idea and the risk of a new release coming into the generator is a price you pay with an offer like this.
