Electronic Arts’ highly anticipated games, Battlefield 6 and FC 26, have disappointed many gamers with their Turkish prices. The $70 international price tag, equivalent to approximately 2,850 TL at the current exchange rate, has prompted players to seek alternative options. According to posts circulating on social media and gaming forums over the weekend, the most popular method is using a Ukrainian VPN.
FC 26 and BF6 are available for a very low price!
Players who discovered this method, connecting their servers to Ukraine with a simple VPN and accessing EA’s digital store, were met with a surprising price. The games, which were available for pre-order in Turkey for 2,850 TL, were selling for a very reasonable 1,699 hryvnia (approximately 1,650 TL) on the Ukrainian store. This represents a discount exceeding 42%.
According to the posts, players who pre-ordered using this method reported no technical issues with payment or adding them to their library. This quickly led to the widespread adoption of this method.
The Risk is High
However, buying games at this low price carries significant risk. EA’s official User Agreement strictly prohibits such actions. The relevant clauses of the agreement state that it is a clear violation for users to use IP proxies, VPNs, or other technologies to bypass geographic restrictions and regional pricing.
EA takes a very strict stance against such policy violations. The company reserves the right to impose the following sanctions on accounts found to be in violation of the agreement:
- Temporary account suspension.
- Permanent account closure.
- Voiding of all games, content, and acquired rights on the account, known as entitlements.
In short, trying to get a 40% discount on a game suddenly risks losing your entire EA game library, which you’ve accumulated over the years and spent thousands of dollars on. Players are now caught between high local pricing and jeopardizing their accounts: Is this risk worth taking to ease their wallets? The players decide.
