Dear Electronic Arts Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to you as a passionate and long-time fan of your games. For many years, I have legally purchased and played EA games, and they have been a source of joy and connection in my life. Unfortunately, as a resident of Iran, I have consistently faced restrictions and limitations that prevent me from fully enjoying your games and services.

I kindly ask you to reconsider these restrictions on Iranian players. We, the ordinary people of Iran, have no influence or control over the political decisions of our government. Sadly, it is us—the everyday gamers and fans—who suffer from these sanctions, while the politicians and decision-makers remain unaffected.

Please understand that for many of us, gaming is more than entertainment; it is a way to find peace, to connect with the world, and to escape the challenges of daily life. Ordinary people and politicians live in completely separate worlds, and it is unfair for innocent people to bear the consequences of politics.

I sincerely hope my message reaches the leaders and decision-makers within EA. I know that some restrictions may be the result of international laws, but I still wanted to share my voice and ask for your understanding and compassion toward your loyal fans in Iran.

May there come a day when we all live in peace and harmony across the world, united by our shared humanity and love for games.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message.

Sincerely,
Mohsen from Iran
