Yes, it's like picking up a cookie from the floor...or a toxic waste facility:

Free* on PC.
* if you are on Win 10.
* if you have the anniversary update.
* if you sign in to Win 10 with a M$ account instead of running a local version.
* If you sign in to Xbox live from PC.
* if you allow the game to access Xbox live at any time.

Exactly.. Free*

I still have to go back and play the first remade Tomb Raider, so I can get to my windows store version of the new one, that has no real options.. cause options are for fools! So sayeth Microsoft and the Windows Store.. I paid like $15 before it came out for that copy through the Store, and I dunno if I'll ever play it cause of how bad that store is.

Anyway, hoping my monitor arrives before I finish The Witcher 3's final expansion.. I'm on a roll, so I fear I won't get to play on 1440p@144/165hz before I finish. Since I'm playing completionist, I rarely ever go back. I play a game so thoroughly, it's not as fun to go back and do speed runs. Did this in my Massive Mass Effect Marathon. 3 months, 1000 hours, and I have no regrets.


*back on topic*

Bioshock the Collection arrives on Steam, and for previous Bioshock owners, at 18:00 Eastern Time US. That's 6PM New York Time. Free owner upgrades will appear in libraries after 6pm.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

It is free, it's just not DRM free. If you're on windows 10 already, and own your PC, you have the ability to make an account for each required part of the process. It's not like you can do this if you're on Linux or OSX, but it is free*.
