From Bioware Forums -

 

 

Buy the product key from G2A or GMG and redeem it on your Origin account. The game will pop up on you 'My Games' tab. The preload begins on 17th 10:30PM. Wait until then and you will be able to download it.

 

 

I'm 100% sure it'll work. Wait until i can confirm it though.

 

Wait till 21st to check whether G2A or GMG keys will work or not...If it works then no need to use VPN method...

Maybe the ban happened because EA is not following foreign trading rules set by the govt, No foreign company can't directly sell a product in India, It also violating the usage of 3dsecure code for credit and debit cards which is mandatory for indian transcations (except googleplay and paypal)

First off ... sucks the game launch got cancelled only in India, that is what really matters to me right now. Do not really agree / care about the reason. If gay rights is really the problem, then all I have to say is that Homosexuals have a right to exist even if we do not understand them and if we don't understand / like their preferences, then we should leave them alone, not persecute them. Now on to the main problem.

Now, from what I understand from my investigation, when I login to the non Indian store of Origin (using VPN) I am able to see the prices in USD and I am able to see the game in the origin store as well. So this is what I can conclude for now ...

1. Origin only figures out which country you are coming from based on your IP address.

2. Origin does not figure out your country based on where you created the account or the other details you have on your profile.

How can I be sure? I launched origin outside of VPN and could not load the DAI page, then launched the VPN and searched for DAI (did not restart origin) and was able to load the page. I created my account originally as a Bioware account (even before Origin existed) which then became an Origin account. It was created in India with Indian IP and postal address. But when I tried changing the country to USA today, Origin store did not change. It only identified me based on the IP that I was hitting the Origin servers from.

So we are clear that Origin is blocking us from PURCHASING the game from India. But if I purchase the game from any other country using my origin account, it will not be a violation, well because of the way Origin is identifying my country and because my Origin account is not tied to any country. I assume that the game will show up in "my games" after the purchase.

I contacted EA support about this and what they told me was this -

SanjayMy specialist team told that, since the origin is region specific, so there'll be an error always when you'll try to play the game here, as the IP address will be different and also the other specifications.
SanjayAlso the cloud storage is available for the games that are available on online mode, so you can save them, but here in India since the game is not available, so there is not any scenario for that.

Another thing he told me which I forgot to copy paste before I closed the window was that since the game is not available in India, there won't be any servers related to DAI hosted in India.

So from that conversation, the bottom line seems to be that we will need to use a VPN to play this game from India. No matter what we do, pirated, not pirated, bought in another store via VPN, hard copy shipped to use from another country, CD Key from another seller, nothing will work because Origin & EA servers check the IP of the computer playing the game and if the IP is from India, it will have problems.

What I think is that playing via a VPN should not be so much of a problem and not cause any deterioration in the game play experience. Let me know what you people out there think.

^ They had a distributor in the form of milestone till now handling physical releases.

 

I do not get the logic for foreign trading that you mentioned, by that model anything purchased online or abroad is null and void in this country. Which is not the case.

Hilarious and so much fail. 44AfQRF.gif Clearly EA support has no idea.

 

First of all, server side check is required when you launch the game first time (i.e, during official launch). Not every time. So once your game is activated, you are good to play it anywhere.

Second, since when pirated games require online check? 44AfQRF.gif
