There's somewhat of a level headed discussion at this moment with regards to the lawfulness of such a move, and as some have called attention to, the Firewatch site explicitly gives streamers consent to include the amusement and monetize their recordings.
In any case, Vanaman appears to be sure, and responded to those worries by clarifying that "all gushing is encroachment however devs and bars permit it since it profits as well."
