Account address issue has STILL not been acknowledged by Square.

Are you the one that was coming to America? If so the Chrysta bought with paypal to pay the sub/retainers should work or even timecards from Amazon I have heard is working for some.

Yes, I'd be moving back to the US. I do hope one of those methods should work though I certainly wish to see this issue addressed properly instead for all the people who cannot rely on such workarounds.

So I contacted the data protection officer listed on Square Enix's website, at the recommendation of my local data protection agency, with regards to GDPR 'right to rectification'.

Interestingly they say that 'country/region of registration' is considered a historical fact, and not subject to rectification.
I've asked for further clarification on what personal data is being used for payment processing, as I don't believe historical fact can be conflated with current billing address.

I've never encountered a payment processor that didn't require a listed country when taking your payment details so if that information is not being pulled from 'country of registration', I wonder where it is being pulled from.

This feels like a bit of a rabbit hole honestly...

That's really interesting, good on you for inquiring about it. It doesn't sound like their method of handling this information makes a lot of sense? If country of registration is historical data, why indeed is it related to payment processing? There really can't be a good reason for Square Enix to just lock you into the country you made your account in permanently. Having a purely online service that cannot account for cross-border moves is ridiculous.
