ELI5: Why do content creators/ streamers get dmca strikes when they play games and music plays? The music artists gave their consent for their music to be used in games which the streamer then plays so why do the streamers get striked?

Most of the time it's an automated system. The music is copyrighted, though allowed for use in certain media. However an algorithm that can spot a certain track being played is a lot easier to program than an algorithm that can spot if a certain track is being played, then recognise the context in which it is being played, cross reference this context with the agreements permitting to that track, and then decide which action to take.
