Unbuyable DLCs, how can I get to play them?

[Poliedro Toroidal]

Unfortunately my country (argentina) is having very serious issues and US dollar prices simply got completely unreachable for me.
I know this is probably a dead end for me but I love this game so much I just feel the need to ask if there's somehow a way to enjoy the DLCs
I love you aoe

well they did price hikes recently with last 2 DLC :/ , that is reason why i stop buying DLCs

i own almost ALL Age, s some even repurchased

Age of empires 1 DE
Age of empires 2 DE
Age of empires 3
Age of Mythology
even Age of Empires HD and DLCs (so i bought some DLCs twice!!!, they dont care about community that supports them and don't offer already purchased DLC for free)

even some HALO RTS game

i am sorry, but for some weird reason multibillion corporations are just greedy...

It seems that forgotten studio LOST IT, loosing fans like me with stupid decisions and overpricing DLC

last cosmetic BS DLCs is last coffin, it seems that it will go paradox enshitifaction route

When they were like 2.5-3.5$ it was acceptable price..

Oh sorry, I think you misunderstood my point, I find the actual prices quite reasonable.
I also have most of the games you mentioned, what just happened is that prices in my country were set in my local currency, but since our economy collapsed Steam decided to entirely remove our currency from the store, making all the prices now in US dollars. This made everything completely unreachable for everyone around here (the last two dlcs cost literally over half my monthly salary).
But I don't think the devs are being greedy at all

I don't recall it quite well, but if I'm right it was around AR$3.000 (around 6 USD) and now that same DLC is 15 dollars in my region, but it's a bit more than AR$15.000
Around april a dollar was around AR$450 and now is a bit above 1000

I wonder if you can have it gifted internationally?

After that economic collapse people all over the world were taking advantage using VPN to buy games extremely cheap and companies saw a serious decrease in their income. After that happened Steam decided that international gifts were completely impossible (also locked our servers so you would be forced to play in south american regions, meaning high ping for other countries).
Now we got our currency completely removed from the market so it should be possible once again, if i'm not mistaken. However, a gift sounds unlikely to happen
