PC gamers to pay more for Trine
To be fair, the Steam pre-order does include a free download of Frozenbyte's first title Shadowgrounds (a $9.99 value) but apparently the PC version of Trine is being sold in Europe and in other digital download outlets for $40 with no such free game offered. One of the game's developers made a post on the Frozenbyte web site defending the PC price, stating, " . . . 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!)". Trine is expected to be released via download for the PC sometime in July with a retail version from Southpeak Games coming later that same month. In the meantime you can check out a demo of the game at Big Download.

Bleh. It was fun enough that I'm sure I'll wind up getting it when it inevitably ends up on a Steam weekend sale. It's not a 40 dollar game, though -- at least from the demo.Posted at 8:17PM on Jun 29th 2009 by James




The key will be how well they support the game after release. If the PC version gets regular patches and updates, then it's worth it, because I don't expect the PS3 version to get new versions as quickly.Posted at 1:11PM on Jun 29th 2009 by Kevin
