Geforce now Game streaming clarification

WoW has come to Geforce now. So should expect our account’s to get banned now if we use GFN game streaming… since the EULA still Prohibits game streaming. Blizzard’s EULA at least as it stands now states that accessing third-party cloud gaming services is not allowed and could result in action against your account. as there has been no Official blue post from blizzard on the subject. i’m hoping to get a confirmation that it is Ok to use it here on this post

The blues wont realy know untill we do either keep a eye out on the main page or wowhead/mmo.

If you already know that cloud gaming is against the rules, then why would you need a blue post stating the same thing?

because presumably its on Geforce Now after they have reached some sort of licensing agreement with Nvidia or microsoft has… if its not supposed to be there to bring attention to the fact that it is so blizzard can act to get it removed… before someone thinks oooh cool i can play this on Geforce now and end ups getting there account banned because less then half the players actually read the EULA

well i am not EU based and can actually access it… someone needs to have a talk with Nvidia so that its only accessible in the EU

Just because you can access it that does not mean you should or that it could cause you issues. Until hear from blizzard for the US version what if any effect this will have as far if you could be banned

Which caused confusion in the other thread as the Nvidia release didn’t say only eu,

So this is an official blizzard response that confirms U.S. players are able to use GeForce Now without fear of getting banned or breaking any rules/terms - correct?

No, no blizzard employee came out and directly said yes or no, they only corrected some confusion of the ToS.

Which says the ToS that says EU market can use streaming services also applies to the US…

I wouldnt wanna be the guy to test that.

This applies to NA as well as EU, Rycerz

Thank you great Panda, I know cloud gaming was against the ToS for the longest time.

Would be nice if they updated the EULA

You can offer a suggestion in-game or on general. THe CS forum doesn’t take feedback like this.

I have a silly question but what advantage does this give you over say just a regular pc
