High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026 when the launcher showed that the user's region is not supported and Syria appeared on the distributor's country blacklist. The team sent official outreach to the studio in April 2026 requesting a review of the Syria restrictions under current US export rules, and is awaiting a response.
Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent to Embark Studios at privacy@support.embark-studios.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions under the current OFAC and BIS framework.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at ARC Raiders or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
