High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Restricted for users in Syria. After community reports in February 2026 found that the site loads but account creation, login, and online play return a service-restrictions error, the team contacted the company in February and March 2026 and sent follow-ups, but only an automated privacy-inbox reply came back. A community member separately raised the case with EA support in May 2026, who logged it as feedback with no resolution timeline. Community reports continue to confirm the restriction across networks.

Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent from corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com to privacy_policy@ea.com. The email cited specific error codes (ACCESS_DENIED 100153) from verified evidence and named Steam, Riot Games, and Roblox as fully accessible gaming peers.
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 EA 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.
