Edit: sry for the doublepost as well guys.
You're saying you're in a region that has had the game released, officially and they won't sell you a security fob?

That appears to be the gist of it, though one assumes that if they are playing the game then Bioware must be allowing subs from thier region...

So, if this is the case, then why can they not buy the fob? This is what I am struggling to understand.

The fleet pass is a luxury item. It is not required to play the game. Not having it doesn't break the game.

Of course, if you really want it, then you can get a PC Android Emulator which you can then run the Android Keyfob program on.

Wrong. 200%. I only ask for get SAME stuff people have on SAME conditions. I never ever asked "gimme pass herenow forfree". I'm just saying - if one states it's that really availible, damn - MAKE them avalible.

Link me up then. I'm interested, because I really think this is bull. I can't even buy a keygen or I would.
I'm not really sure what are you asking for. The quote from last Q&A was in the first post. And the fact that keygens are NOT avalible to ALL regions where game is OFFICIALLY sold seems not to be a surprise for you already (by the way where are you from? I'm just curious how many EU regions are involved in this).

Well, BioWare allows subs from ANY region, but they don't officially sell the game everywhere... they just said they won't deny anyone that finds a way to purchase the game.

So if this player is in a region where they are not selling the game, it makes perfect sense they won't sell him a security fob. But if he IS in a region listed by BioWare, then they should sell one I think! Maybe it's a security device export rule or something.

That's very odd and wrong. I can't help but wonder if they are hamstrung by some weird security export rule/law. What country are you in?

Europe. When I goto the site it only says shipping is available to the US and Canada. Like if I COULD purchase it, I'd retract my argument and apologize. I've tried to circumvent this but I cannot do so apparently. They just do not ship to my country which is bothersome.

I dont know where other several players from, but my country IS on the list, game is sold in local stores as boxes, game and timecodes are both sold via translated origin-store for local currency. Should any of those give me a hint that support for my country is any different then for the rest of the EU zone?
