Where in the article do Microsoft say they have increased prices due to the result of the EU referendum and bearing in mind the UK is still very much a part of the EU?

did I miss that bit?

Bit blindsighted. They're raising the prices in the UK. Only in the UK. Went on to write about the failing pound after mentioning Brexit in the title. Guess we're all gonna have to use our sharp detective skills as to why though.

Corporate greed not a Brexit effect. We've been charged more for software and games in this country for years.

A game that is 34.99 GBP is often also 34.99 USD except USD usually has a lower value than GBP so you are paying about a third more.

yes and also correct the title and say what product (specific office software) as it very ambigous and misleading

STOP PRESS:

Rainfall in the UK increasing and the calorific value of ingested sperm suffers sharp rise due to Brexit.

LMFAO.

Haha, they gave people a month to return back before it was permanent but they didn't really tell anyone about this. I found this out on day 25ish and completely forgot how much I despised 10 until now
