Shame, why? Too many people asking if it'll happen in India every year?

I don't remember everything but I think it was a tweet?

I believe the videos required a lot to set up and organise but the videos just weren't performing well. The 2021 ROG Rig Reboot videos only have 1.1 to 1.6M views after over a year which is lower than most of the regular videos they do. Most of the videos uploaded in the past week have better view counts and they've only been up a few days.

 

Personally I think the concept just got a little stale after the first couple. There's only so many times you can watch people be guided through a PC build. I think the people who want ROG Rig Reboot are mostly just interested in the opportunity to win, with not as many people interested in actually watching the videos of other people winning a free PC. Whenever there's a post asking about ROG Rig Reboot it's always "Is there going to be ROG Rig Reboot? I want to win a free PC". I never see people saying "Is there going to be ROG Rig Reboot? I really enjoyed watching Linus build PCs with random people".

Had never thought about it from that perspective. I suppose it's the same reason I've strayed away from giveaways and etc on my own channel - people are interested in the free $10 gift card, not the content, and will leave when the free stuff dries up.

i might submit my laptop as a video because its a Pentium

Quick searching of twitter and the only official statement I could find is from Nick Light stating he doesn't think its coming back, but Colton Potter then stating its possible at a later date under a different format. So I guess its not "technically" dead.

I do believe Linus has stated officially somewhere, but I can't seem to find that about this as well (I could be wrong)

Most likely due Asus deciding against it. But could also be multiple other reasons. Time it takes to evaluate submissions, time and money it takes to setup vs money/views got from it, person(s) handling production leaving LMG and so on. Or just the fact how much salt giving chance to get something for free (or cheap) generates. I wouldn't be surprised if LMG announced that they won't do online giveaways for seeable future and only do some during LTX or other popup events. Which ofc also is reason for people to salt about.

 

According to bit search, the killing of series was stated during build livestream so we don't have link or timestamp to give for it. Making it "just trust us, bro" thing.
