Unfair Block of Iranian Gaming Community

Hello EA Support,

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the recent restrictions placed on players from Iran. This decision is unfair and punishes a large community of passionate and talented gamers who have no control over political situations or government actions.

There are thousands of professional and dedicated EA fans in Iran who love your games and spend a lot of time and money supporting your products. Blocking access for an entire nation is not a reasonable or humane solution.

We kindly ask you to reconsider this policy and separate gaming from politics. Players only want to enjoy their favorite games and be part of the global gaming community.

Thank you for your attention, and I hope you will take this matter seriously.

Best regards,
[A concerned Iranian player]
