Depending on the game you’ll totally get copyright claims

When I was young I tried making Let’s Plays and those got copyright claimed. Those were Nintendo games. I’ve also seen mid-sized Youtube Channels also get demonetized for playing Nintendo games.

Other developers take it as free advertising and don’t really care about giving out copyright claims.
