Why russian players can buy 800 for 10$ while european players must trade them for 10 €.
It’s ~ 23% more.

I won’t do the math now but the difference after currency exchange between the EU price and the US price is only a few cents.

This is correct. Our publishing is out of England, so we have a 20% VAT across the board on all EU sales. The difference is just inclusive vs exclusive taxation.
