So things like GDQ marathons would need to change or get special permission. GDQ is literally the only stream I've ever seen that directly embedded video advertisements for sponsors. Clearly that can no longer be done.
But Lets ignore that and focus on their explained 3% overlays being allowed, as some sibling comments mention. (Which weirdly is not mentioned in the TOS at all, but only supplementary material).
Let's look only at one aspect of their marathon, one that seems innocuous. They have a banner area at the bottom, that often has various stats or other information. Ocassionally it may show the events own logo. That is clearly fine. And sometimes it shows the charity's logo. Is that a problem? Well, if they received literally nothing from the charity, it would not be sponsored content, so being a big banner on the screen is fine.
However, I know that that PCF for AGDQ actually pay GDQ a fixed amount for running the livestream, to help partially offset production costs. Which technically makes them a sponsor, in addition to being the charity benefiting. (They make far far more from the event then they spend obviously.)
Whoops. Clearly that must go, I guess.
And I guess they cannot have bigger logos of other sponsors be put up on screen even briefly during breaks, except I guess if they do it by way of physicals carboard cutouts or similar, as there is no only a few seconds exception or anything like that ...
