Godus Continues To Be A Mess

Less than 24 hours after releasing their latest game Godus Wars, Peter Molyneux’s studio 22cans is already facing controversy, announcing today that they’ve removed the game’s microtransactions following community backlash. Godus Wars, a simple real-time strategy game that was both announced and released on Steam Early Access yesterday, was presented as something of a fresh start for Molyneux’s god game.
