"As for the PSN price, our publisher and Sony sets it," Lauri wrote in a subsequent post, later adding "heck, even I don't know it." Noting that " guidelines are set by our publisher," developer FB_Lauri took to the company's official forum to explain that "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)" and "we are very confident that we can deliver a full retail experience with Trine (hence PC version is sold in retail also for approx 35 to 40 eur/usd!)." Though publisher Nobilis has yet to explain the substantial divide between the pricing of the PC and PlayStation 3 editions-a difference the development studio was apparently unaware of-Frozenbyte has already been defending the higher-than-expected PC price. However, the Steam product page indicates that independent developer Frozenbyte is self-publishing on the service. While the Nobilis-set "official price point" for Trine PC is $40, a price that several digital distribution outlets and European retailers currently list, digital distribution provider Steam is currently offering pre-orders of the game for $30. Original: The PlayStation 3 edition of Frozenbyte's downloadable platformer Trine will sell for $20, half the "official" international price of the PC version, publisher Nobilis has confirmed to Shacknews. Update: SouthPeak, which is publishing Trine PC in North America later this summer, just let us know that the North American release of Trine PC will carry a suggested retail price of $30 in lieu of the $40 price point set by international publisher Nobilis.
