Le Mans exploit meant lots of gold flooding into the game, less IAP and ads watched etc. FM income takes a hit, prices go up to compensate, flushing out some of those ill gotten gains.

Great idea.

Thanks,FM. Who do you think pays for the costs associated with loss (shrinkage) from shoplifting, the security cameras and guards? The honest customers. Who pays for the Police, Prosecutors, and Prisons? The honest members of society.

It won't be any different for a software company. They have costs that they have to cover. If people cheat and that reduces the amount of revenue they collect, they still have to cover the costs. The costs get passed on to everyone, and the players that didn't cheat get hit more than those that did... unless of course the developer moves to have the cheaters arrested and their assets seized, depending on the severity of the exploit.
