Unfair Region game Block

Hello, I would like to bring this issue to any one that is from Israel, and even get to the developers. 

The game seems to be block, after digging into this I got into notice that every time I enter the origin website it takes me to the SAU region, which is quite odd. 

I am from Israel, must games never get banned here, and I am sure the game is not banned here! Steam sees us as Region - Israel and I can see the game there, sure I can buy it there, but I rather do it over Origin. other companies like Activision-Blizzard sees us as Europe and the situation is always different, however taking Israel under SAU region is weird, unfair and make no sense. Our laws are different, more open and it make no sense to be suffered because of them. 

I talked to few different agents, and they indeed said Israel goes under Sau as the websites shows it, and not under Israel, and they moved on my request however I am not sure anything will happen, and this is why I would like Israeli or developer that sees it to step in and help. 

Please, reconsider the situation, it is more of a justice and just wait or getting it in different deal, because if the SAU will ban BF2042 or any other game in the future we will be effected, even when the game will not be banned here. 

ISRAEL DID NOT BAN MASS EFFECT LEGENDARY. 

Please help, and show support, thanks. 

  • Hey @TX11559 if your country does not have its own dedicated Origin store front then it will default to the nearest country's one as appears to be happening here.

    I will pass this onto our team but don't believe that this is something that will change.

    @EA_Darko Hey, thank you for your respond. I understand your answer, however I feel this is unfair, because still Israel law is not even close to the one in the SAU region, far from it, and we shouldn't suffer from it.

    Thanks, be safe.
