Game publishers are just catching up with other copyright holders in the digital age. Music publishers own the rights to any music of theirs that gets published, and thus any money earned from views. Same with movie studios. I have a few popular videos on YouTube, but I don't legally get to collect any money from them because I don't own the content, and that's fair. If I owned the content, I'd be pissed if someone else was making money of it.
