Surely this is self defeating? Everyone seeing these insane price increases will scare off any potential new customers and drive away the customers they do have. Sure it might increase revenue in the short term but ultimately it'll kill the product. Or is that the point? Make as much money as they can with as little effort as possible and then let it die?
