Apex coins are Unvailable in most african countries

hello, 

 
There seems to be a problem in most African countries regarding apex coins being unavailable for purchase through Steam Wallet. This happened after the recent update that introduced regional pricing. it looks like some of the countries that were left out of that deal are now unable to even buy coins using global currency. (USD) 
 
 
Please look into it asap because a lot of people are trying to get their hands on the new items from the collection event but we're unable to purchase event packs because we can't even get apex coins to begin with.

    I'm from north Africa and I got the same issue, I have had this problem since Apex was released on Steam but it got fixed last season (s16) unfortunately with the recent global price adjustment update the issue is back. I hope there is a fix

    i think if you buy nord vpn then change the country to Belgium you can buy the heirloom. i live in Canada so i dont have to do this but idk if it still works or not.

    @Tangoid3 I mean you could do that but that's not a very good solution because you're risking your Steam account getting perma-locked. Changing your region to get access to more games or certain prices is against their TOS. As Repu stated above it was working fine in season 16 but the recent update ruined it. I just hope they fix this before the event ends.
