I mean Sony and Humble Bundle do actually push those price increases onto others. They maintain their prices in the US, but raise them in Europe. A Humble Bundle subscription now includes IGN??? I'm sure there are other examples.
The logical thing to do is of course boycotting the companies that do, but since I'm not their customer there isn't anything really I can do. Besides I am mostly just pirating stuff these days. Being able to afford food is somehow more important.
