Honestly I don't think they should give you anything because it isn't their fault that the exchange rate works this way. If they had control over it then I'd completely support you. The only thing Cryptic is guilty of is falling international rules and trying to keep things as fair as possible.

You're being charged in the American style: X amount, converted to your currency, and then adding VAT at the end.
