Bug with "SCAR III Giveaway"

[rushboarduk]

So tonight I entered the SCAR III Giveaway as part of LTT's tour of the ROG Design Center.  I've managed to complete four of the entries, but the video from Facebook won't show properly.  Since I didn't know which one it was, I searched for "mothership" through the ASUS Republic of Gamers video page and watched them all, just to make sure, but this doesn't work either.  I've created a screenshot below to show what it did on my login:

 

 

LTT should take care in the future to make sure all entries work, as this is an uncommon issue with Gleam contests.

No idea... not me, at any rate.

 

As I understand, the prize organisers are under no obligation to inform the community who received it.

if you didn't get contacted you didn't win.

 

LMG don't have to announce the winner, nor do i think they should.

There's a thing about fake giveaways, but as many of these are from brands with LMG acting as media only, we can probably trust them. And I think there would be big controversy if winners wouldn't receive their prizes.

True, but knowing how much it gets asked on the forums, it would open the winner up to harassment from people who are pissed they didn't win and feel entitled to it

Only Haswell I have is a 5820K and an untested 5960X that turned out dead (was a 50/50 chance it was living, but still sad it died)

Myself or Jono post about 95% of the giveaways, and I can confirm that they're legit. We wouldn't do them if they weren't. There's no point, and no real gain from our side unless people actually get their prizes.

We drew the winner yesterday and he responded to our outreach email, so you didn't win I'm afraid.  We can probably do a better job in the future of announcing "we've drawn x winner for x winner" here and on social in the future.

 

Its tough because we'd like to announce all winners, but some winners don't have a forum account or social media account, and we also extend the option for winners to let us know that they're not comfortable having their name or username be announced.
