If higher prices wouldn't throttle demand, virtually every company (extremely few "ethical" exceptions) would increase prices. That's how prices are set in the first place: probe what customers are willing to pay. It's the game that's greedy, not the players. Even you and me could become corrupted if we've find ourselves higher up in the pecking order.
