Bryan Henderson, the 20 year-old Scot whose life was thrust into the spotlight when he became the winner of Peter Molyneux's , with the remaining lead designer of Godus has publicly expressed that features such as multiplayer are unlikely to arrive soon. Molyneux cannot guarantee that multiplayer will ever come to the game, meaning that Henderson may never receive anything after winning the "life changing" prize. Inbox ZeroHenderson had tried to maintain contact with 22Cans about the promised reward, but says he was left frustrated after many routine emails to the studio. "A month or two after winning, I would email them every month, purely because I expected more communication from them, but it wasn't happening," he said. A multiplayer mode for Godus was promised at the outset"I would ask, so, what's happening? When am I going to find out more stuff? What's going to happen, specifically? They were taking their time to answer. They would say, we need to do this first and tell you afterwards. "Since I won and a year after, I would email them as a ritual thing, every month, just to get some kind of update. Eventually I was like, they're not being professional at all. Communication is non-existent, so I'm not even going to try anymore." Henderson has not received an apology from Molyneux, or his team at 22Cans, before Eurogamer had contacted the studio about the story. "That's pretty poor, isn't it?" Molyneux said of the whole affair. "He should have a contact here. That's pretty shoddy for us to not keep him posted. I totally and absolutely and categorically apologize. That isn't good enough and I'll take it on my own shoulders that I should have made sure he was communicated with. We will from today onwards do that."
