Cole Palmer mistakenly livestreams EA Sports FC 27 on Twitch early and gets temporarily banned — ‘I was only giving the people what they wanted’
Chelsea and England midfielder Cole Palmer was livestreaming the latest EA Sports FC 27 on Twitch this week, but was hit with a temporary ban as he wasn't supposed to be showing off the game that early.
England midfielder Cole Palmer found himself temporarily banned from Twitch this week after streaming the upcoming EA Sports FC 27 game ahead of the official embargo. The Chelsea captain and England national team player, known for his down-to-earth personality and love of chippy-chips, was streaming the new football simulation to a substantial audience when he should have been waiting until after an EA Sports showcase event.
Palmer was given early access to the game and decided to live stream it on Tuesday afternoon. However, he was meant to wait until after the official EA Sports event that evening. An EA representative appeared in the chat to remind Palmer of the embargo, and the stream was subsequently suspended. Upon learning about the ban, Palmer quipped on Instagram, "I was only giving the people what they wanted," and followed that up with a simple plea for his account to be reinstated.
Despite the incident, Palmer's account was eventually reinstated, and he resumed streaming shortly after, demonstrating his resilience in the face of the setback. EA Sports FC 27 is set to officially launch on September 25, with early access available starting September 18 for those who pre-ordered the Ultimate and Ultimate Plus editions.
