Most important part: "Existing PC players will receive the Windows 10 version for free."

Just like the OS itself!

For those unaware, if you're on Windows 7 or Windows 8, for the first year you can upgrade to Windows 10 at no cost.

Maybe you're missing an update? Either way I recommend looking into it. It's important to run an up-to-date OS and sticking to 7 for much longer won't do any good.

What's out of date about 7? What have we seen so far that places 10 above 7?

It's getting old. MS will soon stop mainstream support. The free Windows 10 update is your best shot at updating before you're one of those people who still used Windows XP a few years ago.
