Re: Dragon Age:Inquisition blacklisted on EGS (available on other platforms)

So there is no option to get the game in Israel?

  • @Kristodian unfortunately, through Epic or EA app, the answer will be no.

    I just checked with a friend and he says that the Steam store does have the game available for this region (he lives in Israel).
    However, he mentioned it costs around 40$ (which is ridiculous in my opinion).
    If you really want the game, mind you I don't know if this will work, you can buy the EA key from here:

    https://www.cdkeys.com/wishlist/#q=dragon%20age%20inquisition 
     
    It costs 10$ for the GOTY edition and 8$ for the standard edition.
    I hope this works out for you guys as I really think this is an outrage, if the HellDivers community could change Sony decisions I am sure we can as well.

    It is not the game that disturbs me, but the sole reason for it's ban. As a gay man from Israel, it is borderline ridiculous to have gay scene being the reason of a ban in my country. I already sent a complaint email to Epic and will send another one to EA. This practice of playing along with the radical movements is not acceptable taking in account that the country is very liberal and acceptive, people here know that they should mind their own business. Obviously except the radicals.

  • @Kristodian You know better than me regarding your country, however, as much as I have observed from visiting, there are no limits in Israel on Gay people. (on the contrary, it is more like Boston there).
    I don't believe this has to do with radical movements as I don't know of any radical movement trying to Ban gay activities, (correct me if I am wrong). So this whole ban list is just out of context no matter what reason I try to conjure in my mind. Also, it doesn't make sense as I know there are shows on TV (Netflix and such) in Israel that also have gay content in them. so why just ban DAI?
    It just doesn't make sense to me.

    @Xx-Gimmle-xX Some companies straight up assume things and may even be afraid of the "kinda American" cancel culture. Instead of actually checking whether something is allowed or not... they will be like "oh... this is a MENA country. They will surely be outraged if we release this thing. We will be cancelled and possibly blacklisted from that market" and proceed to self-ban it. For example, Xbox did this exact same thing with "Tell Me Why" where they self-banned the game in regions they deemed to be "too MENA" which is honestly insulting... it is really sad and disturbing that EA is heading the same direction.

    But what makes EA different than Xbox... is that EA sells the game on Steam which makes this whole ordeal even more ridicilous.

  • I don't know what more needs to be done for an EA admin to respond to this forum. Although this problem is the most common problem among other problems and is addressed by more people, they still have not written the solution. disgrace

    I will just make it clear for those wondering, there is no ban against gay content in Israel ( believe me just look at Tel-Aviv for example ), for reference I am also able to access dragon age inquisition on both steam and my PlayStation, don't understand why it's only banned on the epic games store or why no one is yet to answer us. can't speak for the rest of the countries but it is weird for other European countries like Cyprus to be banned as well
