Well you can't just "not do it anymore" in those countries, might as well close shop there.

Imagine prices of games would increase 3 times, i.e. one 60$ AAA game would cost 180$. It would be the equivalent raising prices to us/eu level in those countries.

There will be a fraction of people able to buy it and you will get gray/black market with dvds or flash drives where you would get a bootleg copy or just piracy.

Piracy is only feasible for offline and single player games. I suspect that even at $180, there's going to be plenty of affluent consumers buying it.
