Brexit will probably make the disparity worse and worse as time goes.

Currency value prospecting aside, it's fishy they didn't adjust the UK's prices at the same time as Russia and Brazil's. I can only guess that they do not care since it's not as big of a difference, or they're going to announce that one beforehand which will help rub-in how little SE cares about Russia and Brazil's players. Many people would have been okay with the adjustment if they had just said something first. It's been a week since this has come to notice and they still have not made any official, easy to view and link, statements on the mater.

The UK is paying less because their currency has devalued since the Brexit announcement, it's at a unprecedented low. Here's an article from a year ago about it https://www.theguardian.com/business...the-uk-economy .

Currency devaluation in developed countries is a mixed bag. It makes things more expensive to import and hurts domestic earning, but it can also increase tourism and exports. Japan for example makes an effort to keep the yen low to help tourism. The pound being weak is not recent though and you 'd think SE would have been aware of that when they had their "exchange rate adjustment" ducks lined up.

Russians got in the same situation - our currency was devalued due to some political garbage.
But now many people explained this as "russians is robbers and british is innocent victims"
