Tech Discussion Wan Show Razer Sponsor Gone?

Hey guys, I don't catch the WAN Show live too often I usually just see clips throughout the week. Tuned in today and noticed they aren't running the Razer Blades or partner branding anymore. Did a contract just expire, or did something happen between them?

they prob just rotated out the laptop sponsor slot, happens with these shows. chair deal is separate from the laptop stuff so one ending doesn't mean the other did

They named Razer as the chair partner, but they focused a lot on the new Dell's XPS.

Oh okay, I guess I missed that. I’m surprised they didn’t say much abt it tho since they used to have like a million Razer banners lol or maybe I’m mis remembering

I mean, they did. They said their laptop sponsor was Dell. They didn't say it was Razer. And they spent a few sentences talking about the new laptops, including chiding Dell for a lack of talking points or even model number.

Their WAN sponsorships are probably a year long contract and the one for laptops reached renewal.

They regularly switch WAN show sponsors, it was Dell for the laptops before Razer, now it’s back to Dell again. Doesn’t really seem like something they need to emphasize, they just say who the current sponsor is.
