Re: Language Change for Battlefront 2

He probably didn't buy it in ORIGIN store, just in a retailer, like Media Markt. But it actually doesnt matter, as when I had a Battlefield 1 game with same language sign on a package, had english version on it, and when I downloaded the game from Origin only (not preinstalled from Dvd) I had only polish langauge. It's EA Polska, or EA in general in their policies. 
Please don't advocate the devill, and write, that if YOU had it ok, there is no problem. Cause there is a problem.

@TheNickolau

If you bought the game inside Poland or at the Polish Origin store you get a polish key.

It is always the Game Key that matters. Games in the Origin store in Poland are usually cheaper than in other Origin stores, that's why the language is locked.

If you buy a key at Amazon UK or Amazon Germany or a physical disk outside of Poland you will get an international key.  (Check the language though) 

Here is the link to the Polish Battlefront II forum.

@holger1405"Games in the Origin store in Poland are usually cheaper than in other Origin stores, that's why the language is locked."

Again this *. That's not true at all.  Actually SW BF II at origin in poland cost  50 pounds (standard version) and at amazon.co.uk 34pounds.

Amazon.com 42 dollars (https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Battlefront-II-PC/dp/B06ZXXYSJS?th=1)

You completely missed the point.

Even so, check origins stores i.e german/fra etc origin SWBFII = 59.99 euro / in Poland = 59 euro . So what the [Moderator edit: profanity removed] are you talking about ? You only repeat EA [Moderator edit: profanity removed] every time.

BTW.  I bet you are not aware. Comparing purchasing power between countries in Poland we actually pay even 3/4x more for SWBFII (and games general) than guy in germany/EU/USA countries this is not 1:1 ratio. As reward we get pretty expensive *##d up game with only russian/poland dubbing without english..and rubbish explanations.

I see you edited your post about seven times, I guess that was a good idea, I still edited it a little more.

That is exactly the reason why the game in the Russian and Polish Origin shops are usually cheaper at release. As it was also the case with Battlefront 2.

Furthermore, and as said before, you are free to purchase the game (or a game key) at Amazon Germany or Amazon UK (for example) and get yourself a international game key.

But this is not true. In Poland we don't get cheaper games on release - as few people already said here, we pay the full price. Which actually means we pay 4 times more in comparison to western countries, because PLN is worth usually around 1/4 of Euro, and countries like Germany have their average salary of around 2500 EUR, while for Poland it is around 850 EUR. And still, our games on launch cost the same as for Western countries.

Russia is different topic - their prices for games are actually cheaper, and even in Poland we see a trend for Russian game accounts being sold for pennies. 

But EA has thrown us in the same basked, and we in Poland are treated the same as guys from Russia, even though we don't see it in the prices of the games. So how come? By the logic of game prices, we should be in the same basket as Germany, UK and the likes, and have our language available in the same package as they have - so english included. But no. It was the same thing with Mass Effect Andromed (I was so pissed at that). I thought that in few years something would change, but it is all the same, few years later. I am actually starting to wonder if we can sue EA for this on any ground - like unfair treatment of customer. 

It's 2019 and we're still treated as second-rate customers. We pay the same bloody money customers in the west do and somehow we aren't given the same benefits of that. If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is simple discrimination on EA's part. It's disgusting.
