Blizzard charges a premium on their games and rarely put their games on sale.
Naughty Dog have more expensive and arguably exploitative micro-transactions than other Sony studios.
Rockstar almost never puts their games on sale.
Atlus charges puts a huge premium on their games and merchandise.
Nintendo has Amiibo and never put their games on sale.
Bungie charges through the roof for DLC and expansions.
High-quality developers (with the exception of Valve, but they don't really count because they don't make games anymore) can get away with charging more for their games because the market will bare it.
