Spanish streaming giant El Rubius was banned from Twitch for an hour due to Sonic Frontiers stream

sportskeeda.com:

Ruben "rubius" Gundersen was officially served with a ban from Twitch after his recent stream was stuck with a copyright violation for streaming the upcoming Sega game Sonic Frontiers.

The streamer took to Twitter to protest the suspension, alleging that the developers had sent him an early access copy and said that there was no embargo on streaming. The Spanish streaming giant was served with the ban for just over an hour before it was reverted.

The much-anticipated game in the Sonic franchise is slated to be released on November 8.

Making a post on social media, Ruben shared that the copyright strike was from Sega themselves. He opined that the ban was directly in contradiction to what was communicated to him over mail. In his tweet, the streamer shared a section of the email from Twitch that informed him of the strike.

For non-Spanish speakers, here is a rough translation of the tweet:

The email from Twitch about the suspension reads:

Meanwhile, another screenshot posted by rubius shows the guidelines sent to him by the publishers which say:

The tweet was immediately shared by thousands of fans and other streaming personalities and accrued over 50,000 likes within an hour. Having gained a lot of social traction, it also caught the eye of Katie Chrzanowski, the social media manager at Sega, who replied that she would look into it.

It seems that the directives from Sega have confused other content creators as well, including Caith_Sith who also shared emails of the guidelines that claimed no cinematics, in-game battles or achievements should be shown by those who have been provided with advanced copies. This is meant to preserve the mystery of Sonic Frontiers for players.
