    Again, this is not the subject of the thread.
    Immigration is a choice, in the same way that your decision to pay the sub fee or not is the choice.

    No matter how many sweet, honeyed words you use, you won't get special snowflake treatment .

    How to spot someone who has no idea that they're in a privileged position.

    Tangentially related~

    My husband is Brazilian. I am American. We've been married more than six years now and the first five of those we lived in BR. We decided to move back to the States in early 2019. Even with us being married and he getting more or less 'automatic' approval for a green card, we've been waiting 13 months for final approval for him since we started filing paperwork. We've shelled out nearly $3,000.00 dollars for associated fees (some paid directly to the government, some for related things like his required physical or translating all of his documents to English.) And we're talking mountains of complicated forms to fill out and needing to produce just about every official document either of us have ever been issued in our entire lives. If we wanted to hire an immigration lawyer to smooth the process out, rock bottom price we were able to find was $5,000.00 and that's in addition to all the aforementioned fees. I can't even imagine what it must be like for people starting from scratch and trying to immigrate to the US legally, without an American family member or a huge pile of cash.

    Frankly sir, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

    Actually on topic~

    I sympathize with you OP, but I think it's unlikely that SE will do anything unless a large enough portion of the playerbase raises hell and/or drops their sub. SE used to have regional pricing in BR but back in July(ish) of 2017 they decided to ninja-remove for nearly all their foreign markets. It took them days to even acknowledge the change and weeks of sustained outcry and a huge drop in review score before they mollified people by going back to the original pricing for a couple of months to 'give people notice' prior to it changing again.
