Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Free

Heads up; Ubisoft is giving away Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon for free. 

FarCry 3 Blood Dragon is a stand-alone expansion to the base game.
Well, expansion is perhaps not the right word since not only doesn't
it continue the story or game play of FarCry 3, it is radically
different from the original. It was well received for its satirical
neon-saturated take on 80s action movies and games. Personally, I
found it a bit of a one-trick pony but free is free, right?

It does require a UPlay account and client, but I don't think that's
much of an impediment (honestly, if you are okay with Steam than
neither EA's Origin nor Ubisoft's UPlay are really that much
different).

I am amazed that this became free. It's not that old too. I got it, but 
I don't like its uPlay. :/

I bought this on Steam a while back but, like Far Cry 3, it had a save
bug. I've played the (interminable) intro about 5 times trying to
troubleshoot it and now never want to play it again.
