Short version:<p>Myanmar had sanctions against <i>specific</i> types of business trades against it, none of them involving anything like "digital games".<p>EA decided to roll out an update including blocks against Myanmar, despite there being no requirement to, and <i>after</i> the sanctions had been lifted to boot. (Circumvention via VPN possible.)<p>Users not informed, refunded, or given anything remotely resembling due diligence at all. So far no support response, only from a volunteer helper.<p>Edit:<p>According to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/5a5oxf/ea_games_and_origin_quietly_bans_an_entire_country/d9e0ofg/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/5a5oxf/ea_games_and_...</a> it may even be import sanctions on crypto put up by Myanmar itself.
