9 Video Game "Rewards" That Humiliated Players

5. Godus - Literally Nothing

Here’s a sorry tale of the man who often speaks in tall ones: Peter “I swear one day I’ll stop making this up” Molyneux, and his game, Godus. Or should we call it HIS game? As I remember, the whole premise of Godus was that while many players are mucking it out, slaving away and working hard to unlock features, one player would be the “god” of the game. And I don’t mean the god of the server, I mean the god of the entire game, able to do whatever they wanted, alongside receiving a share of the profits.

That pleasure fell to one Bryan Henderson, who won the gift of the god in 2015. What a reward, right?! Money and power?

As you might expect with the father of all well-intentioned lies, Molyneux and his team didn’t deliver on these deity-fuelled desires, and Henderson received no notification or anything resembling a reward. Then in 2017, Stinky Pete revealed that the game had made no money and therefore Henderson wouldn’t receive a penny.
