PC version of Trine costs twice as much as PSN version
Destructoid — In a weird turn of events, platform puzzler Trine will costs twice as much on PC as it will on PSN, costing $40 instead of $20. Bizarrely, developer Frozenbyte had no clue about the price difference, yet is still defending the decision to price one version considerably more than the other. "Trine is far from a game created by a solo hero developer (we have over 20 employees and Trine has contributions from a double amount of people)," explains one dev on the company's forums. "We are very confident that we can deliver a full retail experience with ...

On Trine Pricing
Blue's News — ... is still 50% above the PS3 MSRP. There is an discussion of pricing from Frozenbyte on the Frozenbyte Community Forums : I'm sure the price will be something what will generate a lot of discussion. While guidelines are set by our publisher, in my opinion price around $/€ 30 is very reasonable for a game which production values are very close to a retail title. While we are labeled indie as developers, Trine is far from a game created by a solo hero developer (we have over 20 employees and Trine has contributions from a double amount of people). We are very confident that we ...

Trine pricing shafts PC gamers
That VideoGame Blog — We’ve been salivating over developer Frozenbyte’s side-scrolling platformer Trine for the better part of 2009, and hopefully we should be able to get our hands on the game in a couple of weeks or so. But we also hope that in the meantime, the game can clear up its pricing issues. Shacknews reports that while the PS3 version of Trine will sell for $20, PC gamers would have to cough up $40 for their copies. At the moment, Steam lists the game at $30, but that’s because Frozenbyte is handling its own publishing duties on the digital distribution service. As a result, ...

Trine Now Available On Steam [Game Launch]
Kotaku — ... A suggest retail price for the PC of $30-$40 caused a bit of consternation among fans awaiting the PC release of Trine earlier this week, worried that they would be paying near double what the PlayStation 3 players would be paying once the game hits the PlayStation Network. It looked like relief was in sight this morning when the game hit Steam for $19.99, but as I sat here typing this, the price changed, as did the tone of this article. Now the game is $10 more expensive than it was initially, which means the original price was either a mistake, or a cruel joke meant to taunt ...

Trine Project “A Big Mess,” Says Developer
Edge Online - Interactive Entertainment Today — Shadowgrounds developer Frozenbyte has admitted that the cross-platform launch of Trine , marred by a controversial gap between PC and PS3 price points, is not really the optimal way to do a game launch.
