 Can I monetize video games on YouTube? Can I play video games, make videos about them, add my own commentary and make money off of that without an explicit license from the video game publisher? The answer is yes. According to this YouTube help behind me, and the link to it is down there in the description below, they clearly say, yes, of course you can monetize if you have a license, but even if you don't have a license, video game content may be monetized if the associated step-by-step commentary is strictly tied to the action being shown. In other words, just simply showing gameplay with no commentary may not be suitable for monetization. That means you should add commentary and let me show you how. Roll it!
