There are no games by Steam. Ask the studio/publisher responsible for the game.

Assuming you mean Valve:

Valve Video Policy

We encourage our users to make videos using Valve game content, such as playthrough or instruction videos or SFM movies. We are fine with publishing these videos to your website or YouTube or similar video sharing services. We're not fine with taking assets from our games (e.g. voice, music, items) and distributing those separately.

Use of our content in videos must be non-commercial. By that we mean you can't charge users to view or access your videos. You also can't sell or license your videos to others for a payment of any kind.

You are free to monetize your videos via the YouTube partner program and similar programs on other video sharing sites. Please don't ask us to write YouTube and tell them its fine with us to post a particular video using Valve content. It's not possible to respond to each such request. Point them to this page.

Of course this policy applies only to Valve content. If you include someone else's content in your video, such as music, you will have to get permission from the owner.

The only time you as a gamer wouldnt be allowed is when you sign an NDA like in a closed beta, but this will be made quite clear to you.

If you're into monetization on gaming videos, this link should be really helpful on letting you know which publishers allow monetization and which don't. The list is incomplete, but there are a lot of big publishers on here.

Wrong. You are giving very bad advice.

A dev or pub can deliver a DMCA claim even if you don't monetize. As it stands, you are displaying their copyrighted work without their permission and without a license to do so.

The issue of whether Let's Play videos are transformative enough for fair use protection has not been established in courts.
