To tell the truth, I cannot buy the game even though I love it very much, and also not because I love it only because it is also inspired by my country, Egypt, but the problem here is that the payment and purchase methods are very difficult, i.e. 17 dollars is worth 863 EgyptianThat is equal to 863 US dollars Therefore, the payment and purchase methods are very difficult, and do not think that I am happy not to support you, but for me this is an amazing number. All I can do is wait impatiently for the public release, and I wish you success. Thank you.

How is 17 dollars = 863 that = 863 dollars?

One is based on currency equivalents for the purposes of international trade.  The other is based on what you can buy with that money locally.

The average annual wage in Egypt is 156,526 EGP, which is a little over $3,000 U.S.,, so in terms of income you can think of 3 EGP as being equivalent to 1 USD.

A typical car costs 500k EGP, which is under $10k U.S.  So in those terms, you can thin of 10 EGP as being equivalent to 1 USD.

But in terms of currency conversion, it is about 51 EGP to the dollar, making goods bought from the U.S. anywhere from 5 to 17 times as expensive as they are from the perspective of someone living in the U.S.

This is why most store systems allow you to set different prices in different countries.  $18 U.S. is a meal for one person here in the U.S., but enough money to feed a family for a week in many parts of the world.

Yeah... Yes and No - However you put it it doesn´t even make Sense.  It is one thing to compare one currency with another - and then there is another thing to compare the natural Income for different countries. You can´t just mix these up just as you please. So yes i understand if one says it is too much - but it´s not about the currency, it´s about the overall wealth.
