And even if they did sell DVD compilations or shirts or whatever, like the Angry Videogame Nerd always did, the only thing copyrighted thing is like, the game's footage recorded by themselves, which I'm think makes it their right over the video anyway?The difference here is, he's not doing a Let's Play, recording every little thing that happens in the game. He does the aforementioned, where he'll say problems with a game, show a clip, do his other movie editing things, and show what other factors he has to talk about. He doesn't have a full play list of like 39 videos showing his entire playthrough of the game.
And you may not directly be charging money, but doing it indirectly. The moment the ads play, you get whatever amount of money from that ad, which can be at the beginning, middle or end of the video. That's still the original game creator's money unless it's a review like the aforementioned.
EDIT: Let me put it this way. What you're saying is basically this:
"I recorded a DVD movie. As the DVD is playing in the background, I'm talking about each scene and giving my opinion on it, occasionally cracking jokes. I should be able to sell this recording."
Does that make any sense?
