Drawing from comments from various game developers pertaining to the issue as to whether game streamers pay royalties to developers of the games they stream has sparked a debate that the industry tries to hide under the rag anew.

One of the advocates vocal in the idea of charging streamers a fee over the content they stream is Montreal Studio of Stadia Games and Entertainment’s Creative Director, Alex Hutchison. He claims that streamers are generating substantial revenue over something which they either get for free or pay little money for.

Google, however, does not seem to share the same sentiment as Hutchison, following a controversy over the employee for his comments.
