Video game rights as a whole are muddled due to your purchase is a license factor but if they ever went after some big dick streamer who has the same expensive Jewish lawyers as they do treating gameplay content like you're streaming a movie might not hold up which could risk some of the similar outcomes that happened from those lost Nintendo and Apple lawsuits. The whole thing becomes further muddled as there's multiple rights and ownership of properties stacked into a single game, from art, music, likeness, vocal work, character design and game engine licensing which is why you've had some of those weird Publisher gives rights, then someone subcontracted or licensed strikes the content creator instead. It's just simpler for everyone all around to not rock the boat since no one knows who would win.
