I've contacted support team today. I will attach the info that they gave in PNG
Community ManagerHey everyone, I appreciate the reports.
I've just done some digging into this situation and it does appear to be a regional issue as you've suspected.
This has been passed along to the team that can dig into it a bit further, but that's all the information we have currently.
If I hear any updates I'll let you all know, thanks for bringing it to our attention in the meantime!
I can finally see MELE in the store, however there is only the option to add to wish list with no pre-order option available.
So one step ahead, but not there yet.
And as EA does best....it's gone again...
Come on guys it isn't that hard to fix, I can help you if you really need the help.
Please figure this out already.
Community ManagerHey @Xx-Gimmle-xX,
I can understand the disappointment here. From what I've been told this is a regional limitation on Origin, and currently we don't have any news about that changing in the near future I'm afraid.
If I hear otherwise I'll be sure to let you all know.
@EA_Mako Does this mean we cannot play the game in our region?
If we buy the game outside of Origin will it work at all?
Also, I don't understand the big deal here, just remove the restriction and let people from the ME region buy from the IRL store, the price is the same anyway, why make this so difficult?
If they would like to share the code on github I would be more than happy to help fix the issue.
So does this mean we are not part of the region anymore 😃
It is available here on Origin for 999 EGP, and $59.99 on Steam.
@Xx-Gimmle-xX is it also still not available for you on Steam ?
