Microsoft: Thanks for your dedication to Xbox: Here is Killer Instinct for free

Just received this in my inbox. Didn't find any threads about it.

EDIT: I don't know why. I have 7 years of Gold and I have Xbox One preordered achievement. Might be related.
EDIT2: I also have the highest tier on Xbox Live Rewards for achievements unlocked. Might also be related.

EDIT3:
Luck of the draw then I suppose.

We considered a variety of things like Gamerscore, LIVE tenure, & other factors in markets where #XboxOne is available.

EDIT4: (there is still hope for you who have not received anything yet)
Chatting to Support now to confirm...

And yes, definitely in waves.

You are definitely correct, we are giving away free gifts to all qualified users all over the regions where the xbox one is available. I believe the emails are already sent out starting today and it is by batch or waves, which is what we have been informed.

That some good news. :) Kudos to MS for doing something awesome.

Hmm, wonder what the criteria for this is?

*refreshes inbox*

In fact, how does Microsoft know you are getting an XOne John Caboose? Did you pre-order direct or something?

Wow, when I read the thread I thought it was snarky (like maybe they were offering the 1-character version as a "free game"). But nope, I got it too. 6 years Gold here, I think.
 
I just checked my email, nothing... Come on Microsoft, I've been supporting you even THROUGH the DRM fuck up. I want love too. :(

EDIT: What's the Email header, so I can be on the look-out for this?

Wait, I got one too. So does this mean I get the full version for free? I wonder if they chose us based on our membership or something....

Can those who are getting this email confirm if they are American or not? Wondering if this is a US only promotion or what...

Nothing in my inbox. I remember receiving an email some time ago asking if I had pre ordered a one already... I think it's related to that.

I just got one as well. The email said all characters will be unlocked, so ya, sounds like the full $20 version. Pretty happy!!

Hmmm....too bad I'm not really looking to buy an XBONE, but it's fantastic for those that are. Wonder if the PS4 is going to give away a free game?
Can't beat free!

Hmm, my gold account is 7 years old, and I have an One pre-ordered (through Amazon though, not a MS store), but no free KI for me. WTF? I'd love free KI!
