GOTY contender ruined by freemium

Amazing engine (ok, its an xcom clone, but a high-quality one), leveraged to try to nickel-and-dime fans out of money. If you are a turn-based strategy fan who only plays in very short spurts once per day, its fun for a while. If they had a "full unlock" option that lets you fast-forward time like xcom, I would gladly pay a premium price... But as-is, the game is hard to recommend.
