These streamers are a business expense to drive their marketing department. They could time-limit the keys or limit them to a beta just for the streamers, but they just blindly issue fat tranches of keys and get upset when people use the copies of the game they minted.

The CD key is conceptually the same as a game cartridge. Why would I -not- give away my review copies of a Nintendo 64 title?

Ya'll cooked if you can't see it. You're all jumping infront of the bullet for companies who's purpose is to make money, like Apu.
