I think this is merely improper handling of a sensitive issue.
If I said "Hey guys, I think Heroes 1 costs a little bit too much. IMO - they should've left it at $5.99 :|", I'd likely get responses to the effect of "Yeah, I guess you're right but you know how Ubisoft is..." and the conversation would pretty much be over, since there's not really much direction for it.
So, as it just dawned on me - the backlash is probably not because people disagree with the prices being "too" high on some titles but merely because they find mentioning / discussing this matter inappropriate.
