Restricting players from Syria

Dears at EA,

    📋 Subject: End the Ban on Syrian Players – We Deserve Fair Access

    I'm writing this with deep frustration and pain. Syrian players have been unfairly banned from accessing EA games for years. We are being punished for simply existing in a country we didn’t choose to be born in. This is not just a restriction—it’s a form of discrimination. We are gamers like everyone else. We have the same passion, the same dreams, and the same right to play.

    Enough is enough. Lift the restrictions on Syria. Let Syrian players back into the world of gaming. We’ve been left out long enough

    Hello, I’m from Syria and I want to send this message to EA’s management or policy team, not just tech support.

    I’m a loyal EA fan who bought and plays FC 24. But I suffer every day due to regional restrictions simply because I live in Syria. These limitations prevent me from accessing the full experience, despite having paid for the game like everyone else.

    I understand you follow US policies, but many sanctions have already been eased. Why is EA still blocking access? I’m not involved in politics — I’m just a player who wants fairness.

    Please, escalate my message. I’m not asking for special treatment — I just want to play like anyone else. We, the Syrian players, are tired of being punished for something we didn’t choose.

    Thank you for understanding, and I hope EA reconsiders this soon.
