The situation reminds me of the famous Casablanca quote about gambling.

So in 99% of cases, streamers have nothing to fear because their activity is beneficial for all involved parties.

Until they do something wrong, get bad press or otherwise manage to piss off the developers. Then those will be shocked, shocked! to find that this stream is conducting copyright infringement on their game - and the streamer is basically dead.

Whether or not this is a workable state for the industry, that's not how law is supposed to work.
