Problem

Gamers in Egypt are badly affected by inflation, and our currency is suffering. A USD equals around 18 of our currency, the Egyptian pound. We don't have a store in our currency, and if we have that, we would have better prices like everybody else.



In the Middle East there are stores in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and UAE. Why can't there be a store for us Egyptian gamers as well?



This would reduce gaming piracy as people who cannot afford buying games usually use pirated games, as they cannot afford the regular prices in USD, and other people, like me, wait for so long to be able to afford a game on sale, and even so, nothing is for cheap. We demand our voices are heard and a store to be added in our currency, as it happened recently in Australia, and before it in 2017 in around 12 countries.

We need Steam to be localized in Egypt, and we need payment methods like Fawry as it's a common method of payment here in Egypt in addition to credit cards and PayPal.



Solution

A store with affordable prices in the Egyptian Pound is all that we ask for. Russia is not better than us, and despite that, they have their own store. VPN is not an option as it can get you VAC banned on steam. We demand a STEAM Egyptian store.



Personal story

I am an Egyptian PC gamer who prefer to buy games rather than pirating them like most of the community, and I really look forward to having a store in our currency. This time, Steam, next is Origin and every other gaming platform.
