In context it means all user content submitted in the games is effectively fully owned by Blizzard, a copyright assignment clause (this differs from the typical “we get a perpetual license to what you submit to us”)

Still seems immoral of them to just grab your creations and claim it as their own, but "viva capitalism!" I guess.
