Ask the Developers to consider pricing for your area. Steam suggests, they do not make the prices for Developers.

If you're gonna do the "its current year" to try pushing something, at least know who controls the prices. Use that link, type the name of the game you want to be region priced, click on the result and ask those Devs.

There is no regional pricing in Algeria. That's what the op is asking for.

You can buy games in Algeria. You have 144.

They are priced in USD at USD rates, not like the discounted USD price in the Commonwealth of Independent States and in South Asian countries .

Irrelevant. They CAN buy games.

It is clearly relevant as the op suggested adding regional pricing for his country (Algeria) instead of USD pricing.

Short hand for, "buy games in our own currency with the possibility of lower prices because our currency isn't strong like the USD is."

It is also shorthand for "Come on it's 2022 let us buy games" and they can buy games because Algeria is not under sanctions.

I noticed how the OP was edited shortly ago to reflect making it affordable pricing. Nothing is also stopping the Dev/Pub from offering it to such regions from their own site/service, at an affordable price as well, with a verified payment method in terms of having a billing address in that region.

Also for the last part, it would explain a lot.

Thanks for heads up on op edit.

Agree. Nothing is stopping devs, pubs setting the price the way you suggest. Also keysites exist.

No you are not allowed. You have to change your profile name, delete your naming history and change your avatar. And then get offended whenever someone points out your previous name or that you acted like those other users.
