add regional pricing to South Asia region

[_MINIJAM_]

I am from South Asia USD region on steam since there is no region specific to my country... The devs have set regional pricing for basically every region on steam for example: Argentina, Turkey, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Africa, Ukraine, India and so on... BUT, why is the no regional pricing in South Asia? why does the game costs $15 which is same as the price in USA? in regions such as Turkey the game costs under $7 but why $15 here. $15 here is equivalent to $150 for someone in USA, would you pay that much for this game? The devs had even further reduced the price for this game in other regions but here in South Asia they havent even added regional pricing... Devs, why do you hate this region so much? What have we done different to other regions on steam that they all get regional pricing but here we dont?

Because currencies have different values based on different nations currency. Turkey doesn't use the Euro, so it's conversion might be lower than the Euro. Whereas, because the main dev is in a European Nation, it's $15.
I'm still learning how all of this currency conversion works myself, but tl;dr, different nations have different currencies. Be glad it's $15. Because for some, it's in the hundreds. And for Japan, it's likely in the thousands.
$15 is the bare minimum for a successful indie game. They're playing the money game intelligently.

This is not what OP is talking about, regional pricing is a thing and OP just wants their region to have their own prices reflecting their own income.
People in the 1st world may think $15 as pocket change, but there are people in Bangladesh earning $100 monthly breaking their backs.

So do you think companies are supposed to cater to countries that they have no economical control over just to make sales?

Yes, and usually they do.

The game literally costs $14.54 in Japan rn, Cheaper than the $15. I have no idea what do you mean by saying that it's likely in the thousands in Japan?

Not from India, even there the game has better pricing, somehow the developers have forgotten about my region...

In response to community feedback, we are making some adjustments"

They even further reduced the cost in some regions but they didn't even set regional pricing for South Asia sadly
