Well, if you knew anything about gaming channels you would know that you may monetize fair-use gaming videos.

Let me break out the inner gaming youtuber nerd...
[Wikipedia] -

Fair use is a limitation and exception to the exclusive right granted by copyright law to the author of a creative work. In United States copyright law, fair use is a doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders. Examples of fair use include commentary, search engines, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching, library archiving and scholarship. It provides for the legal, unlicensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author's work under a four-factor balancing test.

You are allowed to upload if it's used under "Fair Use" and networks give you licenses to upload gameplay, yes.

Yeah networks are fantastic because of the licenses they have to offer, especially the free music database that they typically have.
