Yes. You can play WoW on virtual machines just like on your local computer.

You’re looking at the wrong thing. You can’t use it on Shadow because it is cloud gaming.

You are violating the EULA.
Just check it yourself, all clearly written inside their EULA.

This is a GM response to the cloud computing eula part. 
 

as you use it like you would on your local machine without breaking any existing rules its fine.

No it is not!

“You must be at your computer the game is running on”. This means, if you run it on shadow, you’d have to sit in the data center.

So i have been using wow on shadow for over a year including friends & family closed alphas. 
 

if you do not want to use it it’s fine. 
 

vm’s open up a whole can of worms for botting and others as long as you do not participate in any of those boxed items you will be fine.

There is no space for arguments here. It violates the EULA, period. “you will be fine” is your opinion, but not a fact.

Unless there is a bluepost that states “Playing via shadow cloud gaming is fine” it is not, no matter what a community manager from shadow says...

You are technically correct, while @Gaijin is pragmatically correct.

Risk-averse people should avoid cloud gaming in these cases.

I’ve been playing for months, I wouldn’t worry about it unless you are, as one poster noted above, “risk averse”.   On the other hand, if you don’t have a rig to play it on anyways, who cares if your banned?  It’s not like you have an alternative to use it on (unless you also own a gaming PC in which case I’d ask why are you using shadow anyways).   You should only care about being banned if you are planning on being able it on an actual local PC in the future. If you don’t use it now, aren’t you effectively “banning” yourself? Lol 😂

Well, i have a gaming PC but, Im not home all the time, and carry my shity laptop with me. And about not getting banned for months, in 2014 I got banned for fishboting yeaah I know thats a serious reason for getting banned and isnt anyone fault but mine. And got banned after a year . And since then im really trying to avoid to get banned again. .
