Blizzard Cloud Saves

Posted on  by

A couple weeks ago Blizzard introduced a change to their End User License Agreement (EULA) that prohibits gamers from playing Blizzard games on cloud gaming PCs. As of two days ago, they started handing down 30 day account suspensions for violating this term of the EULA. Does anyone know if Blizzard has a cloud gaming agreement in place? My laptop's graphics card is broken and I can't afford a replacement computer. I would much rather just pay the monthly fee for a cloud gaming provider but I can't find any info on Blizzard having this service.

The Steam Cloud is great, and it makes us wonder how we survived the primitive age of gaming when cloud saves didn’t exist and save-files were limited to one machine or memory card.
