xQc baffled by Rubius\u2019 \u201cinsane\u201d Twitch ban over Sonic Frontiers DMCA claim Twitch: xQc\/RubiusTwitch star Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel was left pretty surprised by Rubius\u2019 ban from the platform, saying Sega \u201ccooked\u201d him over it. Whenever a big new game releases, plenty of Twitch streamers are desperate to be the first to stream it \u2013 even if that means taking unusual routes to play the game before it goes live in their region. Some get help from publishers with early access, but even that can land them in hot water at times, which is exactly what Spanish streaming star Rubius found out on November 8. The Spaniard was streaming the new Sonic Frontiers title just before it went live for everyone else, and he got a DMCA strike on his channel as a result. Though, that meant that he was also in line for a Twitch ban, and he even lost his channel partnership as a result. xQc shocked by Rubius Twitch ban over Sonic Frontiers While the Spaniard has been unbanned from Twitch, some streamers have weighed in on his situation, including xQc. The French-Canadian streamer was alerted to Rubius\u2019 ban prior to starting his God of War: Ragnarok play-through, and he couldn\u2019t quite believe what he\u2019d seen. \u201cThat is dank, that is mega dank,\u201d xQc said when he read Rubius\u2019 tweet about being given a code from Sega but not being informed about an embargo. \u201cDamn, they cooked him. They cooked him. They sent him the steak and they cooked him. That\u2019s insane.\u201d As noted, Rubius has already been unbanned from Twitch and returned to the platform with his own stream of God of War. He\u2019s also had his partnership status restored as fans can, once again, subscribe to his channel. Of course, though, you should always be careful when it comes to playing games earlier than planned. You might not be as lucky as the Spaniard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
