game prices are stagnant since the 90's
no one is "jacking up the price" for "other people". if we are lucky enough to live in wealthy countries, then we already won the life lottery. if someone lives in a country with the average salary of $500 a month, then I don't see how having lower prices on software could hurt the industry in such places. 100 sales at $20 each (especially digitally) is better than 10 sales at $60 each.
it's just maths and maximizing profits taking into account basic economic rules for emerging markets
