The Unfairness Of Not Being Able To Play Because Of Your Birth Place. "IRAN"

Politics shouldn't really affect the gaming society, gamers aren't terrorists or something, I'm an Iranian and I don't really think this is fair. why should we be banned? is banning a game for a country going to make any huge kind of difference? i don't think so, it doesn't have any impact on very important goals or anything, this really has to stop,

ALL GAMING SOCIETIES SHOULD HELP EACH OTHER. not to betray one another because of the rules, some rules can be broken, some can be questioned...

please help us. 💔

I know that. That is why this topic was created!
Sanctions, politics should not and MUST not have influence and affect the gaming society.
This is where we say NO to unfair rules and irrelative sanctions.
Why in seven hells should be a law or a restriction for GAMERS?
Like WTF? why? We aren't crossing borders we aren't trading, we are simply playing a F video game!! Why is that a problem??

The problem is it's against the law and EA/Respawn can be taken to court by the federal government for breaking it. I don't see how breaking the laws of the country the devs and publishers are operating out of is going to do anything except hurt them.

Why shouldnt it? I dont take sides, nor do I have a deep understanding about the US sanctions on Iran, but ofc sanctions must include Origin since Origin is an US based service/product and the sanction includes US businesses on the Iranian market.

What you say is true ok but that is true if only we are trading games and like a lot of them, and we are kind of profiting from it which we are not. we don't have a very advanced game developers or companies and we are not selling our game anywhere. we have all kind of games here came to the country by other countries no matter the platform ps4, Xbox, pc, etc...
we have them all. the thing here is restricting servers of a FREE TO PLAY game and imagine it will have a huge impact on the economy as we know it, which obviously it won't. letting some harmless careless people play a game that is free is not and should not be a priority, I believe there must be a lot of more complicated subjects and more pressing matters than banning a game...😞

If Origin won't serve you if you're in Iran, how did you buy the battle pass?

The only answer to this is if you want to enjoy the benefits of stuff that Iran either doesn't allow or has gotten itself embargoed over, quit being in Iran. I get everyone has their national pride and all but...y'know? Less leaders holding "Death to America" rallies might help.

Certainly the wish to have a solidarity with gaming people around the world is admirable, and your frustration is easily understandable. Unfortunately the only one that can do anything about your situation, is you.
