No disc version in Australia was a Terrible Idea

So instead of being able to buy the game for the regular $79 for the standard edition on disc, instead EA have decided they don’t care about their Australian market and will only sell the digital version at a whopping nearly 1.4x the cost, $110 for the standard edition. 

Not only is $110 a ripoff for a standard edition, but then removing the ability to get the game the affordable way via a physical copy is a shocker from EA. So much for making the game slightly cheaper this year… it actually just got $31 more expensive. 

I would like a response to this as to a) why this decision was made, and b) I’d like to see this decision rectified. 
For an already struggling series I can see this really impacting the sales performance in Australia, as well as other countries that are suffering from the same. I am certainly not alone in this opinion. 
Answers necessary. Thanks
