Yes, but you can’t be assured that an increase in your base price will lead to a profit increase because of the current realities of how capitalism is managed. An increase in base price which reduces units sold could be a net even or a loss of profit. Most businesses would rather avoid that risk and cut costs elsewhere.

If you can increase the price, decrease the units sold, and maximize profit that’s the best outcome. Fewer players using your servers if you game has an online component:

Maybe they could just release the game at the standard price but figure out a way to make constant updates to the game and you could choose to purchase those updates. Like special armor, or missions. Stuff like that. Just little purchases, nothing on a macro scale.
