But to answer your question, I have not played a game that was sponsored on a stream. Most of the time the game in question is a mobile game. When this is the case, this is at the start of the game's lifespan where the developers are extra generous to the players to get them to start playing and eventually start paying money. After the first few months, the free currency starts to dry up, micro transactions are pushed more often, and powercreep starts to come into play.
For buy to play games, it is a little better. Sometimes the games will be early access games that eventually shit themselves and die during development. Sometimes there will be decent, complete games that do get sponsored streams, but those do not not really need sponsorships since they are good enough to stand on their own.
Point is a lot of the sponsor streams are for gacha games that are right at the beginning of their lifespans where they are at their most generous. I DO NOT blame the streamer. It is a business transaction at the end of the day. I have played enough gacha games to know what happens with the vast majority of them.
