Honestly only gave a situation like this thought when blizzard did it:

It was probably a few years ago now, but they were working on a new (WoW) pet/mount for the blizzard store and the finished models were leaked. Then there was a disaster in japan so they donated cash from sales to help out. But instead of putting up the new pet/mount they delayed it and re-packaged one of the older "exclusive" rewards from the WoW TCG. (different name same skin/model/animations)

I have nothing against them for helping out, but keeping the readily available things they could of sold for much more (and in return, raised more for the relief efforts) just for bigger profits later was definitely a dick move. But you couldn't bring up any sort of discussion about it without being shot down for "being greedy".

But 99 times out of 100, I don't see a problem with it. Like you said, win-win.
