Clarification Around iOS Not Available

Getting a whiff of EAShay's Twitch Stream tells me this is misinformation.  Ios must not be a big market for EA. EA_Blueberry: Edited post title to reflect topic in conversation

@ivnick55 My theory is that the iOS or Android Beta are now on hold indefinitely in major markets like the U.S. (Apple is an American company) because they want to make sure the game is as good as it can be before releasing it to concumers where they'll gain the most profit.  Perhaps EA and Apple don't want the U.S. and much of the world to get a bad taste in their mouths if the game is going south (Shay said they were taking steps back to re-do parts of the game) before it's worked-on before world release. Stripping the game down might chase away potential paying consumers.  Word spreads quickly, as well.

@Djokovic_Itch in fact, it's just a soft launch. Renting servers is very expensive for companies. And at the beta stage, it makes no sense to launch everything at once. EA probably wants to test the most remote and popular on every continent. New Zealand - Oceania, Philippines - Asia, Russia - Europe, Canada - North America (if there are no problems in Canada, then it makes no sense to test in the USA, because there will be no problems there either, so I think the next launch will be in Brazil (South America) and then there will be a global launch all over the world.


You just have to wait.

    The reason I didn't address it immediately was because I had a schedule that I said at the beginning of the stream that I will run through. The iOS comment was going to be something I wanted to talk in detail so I wait until the end. Many users around the globe who have Android have not been able to play since the beta started. This isn't an "iOS" only issue. It's just that iOS is now the same as Android in terms of regions in the beta. This game isn't made by Apple, so i'm not sure why that should relate to Americans not being able to play the game. UFC Mobile is made by EA Vancouver, which is located in Canada. Where myself and the entire team reside. Additionally, where the game is made is not a reason for where the game is available in beta. This Discord is set up for general talk about the game as well as conversation regarding the UFC. It will also be a place where information on the updates to the game.

      Thank you for sharing the answer, @ivnick55 

      Shay touched up on this from yesterday's stream towards the end of it. The game is still technically "beta" as we lead up to launch. Not all betas will be available to the entire world and could be locked to specific regions for testing purposes. This could be for back-end technical reasons (server capacity) while the team is working to knock out bugs and get ready for the content they feel will be exceptional for the world wide launch date. 

      If you want to check out what he said I timestamped the video for you below. Now if you don't mind, I have a spaceship to catch.

        @EA_Blueberry I understand how this Beta testing works now. Being straight about when the ride ends is what leaves a bad taste in people's mouths. The tweet says there's a problem with Apple getting the game on the App Store. What people weren't noticing was an omission. WHO was getting the new App Store version? It's all great. I know how the sausage is made, now.
