When Youtube changed their way of earning money and improved their content filter and policy, it was to content owners/companies to choose between earning all the money from people's montage/streams (ex: Nintendo) or to let people do what they want/like and earn all the money of their works (ex: Minecraft).
Someone talked about "free advertising", but it only works if the game is good enough to convince stream viewers to buy/play their game, it works with Minecraft but some games are so shitty, streams are just here to convince people not to buy/play it.
On a side note, AC would be completelly different if we speak about the "law", the game itself is under multiple juridictions, let say if you are allowed to earn money by streaming AssaultCube, you are certainly not allowed to earn money from many maps.
