A community volunteer sent a wider petition directly to Eurogamer as well as Ziff Davis and Gamer Network, asking that the country-level geofence blocking Syrian traffic be removed. No reply followed.

Work at Ziff Davis? Know someone who does?

Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside Ziff Davis can change that.

Tips for advocating

  • Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
  • Reference the lifted sanctions.
  • Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.
