If you were a race car driver and you won a race using Hoosier tires do you think that you should have to give them a cut of your winnings?
As far as letting folks see the story of a story based game, do you think that there shouldn't be public libraries where people can read just about any books for free? How about after I beat a game, do you think I shouldn't be able to tell a friend the entire story in detail if they asked me to because they don't want to play it?
Lets say you throw a party and you decide to put some music on that you bought, would you go around to everyone in earshot and ask them to kick in a buck for each song so you can send that money to whoever you bought your music from?
When I buy a game my obligation to a game company is complete. They created a product and I purchased it. That copy is now mine to practically do as I please with. No reason to insert your opinion about how I just bought a license to use said game, I'm not talking about reverse engineering it here. I now own a copy of game and now I feel like streaming, game company should have no say about that in any form what so ever.
Those examples are different. A video game is different from a tire because it provides copyrighted content beyond just a logo. People profit off of streaming games, and why should they be allowed to do that when it's not their product or IP?
