This is specific to the Nintendo's Creator Program. You have to specifically sign up for it either for the entire channel (a decent cut of the pay but, limits any games you play to the list they have) or video by video (Not very good cut, but you are free to do what you want on your channel). If you are video by video, this new rule doesn't apply.There's also a separate youtuber's program for higher profile channels that started a few years prior. This one doesn't seem to have the same level of strictness and Nintendo tends to send these guys free games to play on their channel. Likely, the livestream restriction won't apply to them. I'm not sure if GameXplain is in this program or they are just counted as journalists
