And Fabs is working on something top secret…guesses

I have the vague suspicion that the paywall was an incidental feature from mobile-centric development and that nobody at 22Cans actually expected to make any money off the PC iteration off this "feature". Simon was hired to make sure the company was driven into the ground as profitably as possible, as he was able to do at his last two mobile shovelware companies, so I expect a similar result here. Neither he nor Colin have a secondary education; one imagines that the gradual liquidation of 22Cans will remain the crescendo of their careers.

For the record, I did not "like" your post because I like to see you cry.

I think the worst part was in seeing Werner Herzog turn into Uwe Boll.

In context, they were referring to mobile, and there are some real scumbag monetisation models on mobile.

Compared to Godus' design around microtransactions, Godus Wars was frankly benevolent through dull content to be expected to pay another 1/3 of the current price tag for another unit.  Yes, asinine, but nowhere near to that of the original design, so this might explain Simon's confusion about ~25 maps with one unit being a "good value".

No offense to fabs, but the time for this has long since passed.

It's clear it never made it into the game; the chances of that ever happening are pretty close to 0. And even if it was added to the game tomorrow (whichever one), I don't think I could bring myself to care enough to install it.

Don't forget what I said after the part you quoted. I don't mind paywalls for mobile games.
If they offer only a part of the game for free. And then put a paywall if people want to go further, then I don't really mind that on a mobile platform.
Full-blown paid games simply don't sell on mobile (with the few exceptions). I think that's a shame, because the experience is infinitely better without the crappy monetisation models. To be honest, I think a paywall is better than microtransactions. Microtransactions are a fundamental part in your design. With a paywall (like they tried in Godus Wars) you don't have to sacrifice your entire design.
I do expect microtransactions on mobile by the way. The nature of the collectible keys and cards, simply make it too tempting for them not to try that crap.
I hardly play mobile games by the way. I've got my 3DS for that kind of stuff. So I don't have hard feelings about the mobile monetisation techniques.

The case with Godus Wars was abysmal at least. I literally paid 60 GBP and was promised a full game with multiplayer and combat.
That they failed in this, is beside the point. But you cannot make part of the kickstarter promise paid for your backers. That is literally the worst thing 22Cans has tried (yet) imho.

More on topic. It's safe to say it hasn't made it into the game at this point.
As fabs didn't think it was impossible whether it would be included in Godus Wars, I wouldn't rule it out to be included somewhere in the future.
I wouldn't bet on it however, changes look pretty slim.

Then we don't disagree here.
Again, the paywal in Godus Wars was abysmal. The worst trick they tried yet.
The thing that pissed me off the most, is that they tried to charge me for a game that I already backed on kickstarter. The features in the 'extra content' were part of the kickstarter pitch. I doubt they would have gotten away with it. Charging your backers extra for content that was promised in the pitch doesn't really sound like something that should be allowed.
But for EA buyers it's false advertising as well, I agree with you on that. There's no mention of this at all at the Steam page. And it explicitly mentions access to trebuchets. Putting these trebuchets behind paywalls is a terrible scam.

My point was, that such a paywal wouldn't be so bad in a mobile version, given the first land would be free. This would be comparable to a classic demo.
