Payment/ payout methods for restricted countries.

Hi, I am a game dev who is working on a game that I want to put up for sale at some point. However, due to recent suspensions, regulations and such where I live (Egypt). I can't deal with foreign currencies anymore (it became very much impossible). 

This means something like PayPal/ Stripe won't work anymore, since they don't really support EGP. 

I have no idea if this restriction will ever be removed and I would be able to use PayPal again or not. I was thinking that itch io could possibly add more support to other methods that can help people in situations like mine to still be able to use the site.

I thought about using the payout method, where itch io collects the money for you, but I heard that Payoneer no longer works either and to be fair, I am very scared to fill the taxes interview thing because I legit don't want to mess up things even more.

Will there be more payment methods added to help with these situations or to help make the site more accessible?

If anyone knows a good way to deal with the situation, your help will be appreciated. :')
