Difference between PC and mobile
Is there a difference between this game on PC versus on mobile (specifically, Apple's App Store)? The reason I'm asking is that it's $9.99 on the App Store, but $39.99 on PC (all stores). I understand price disparity among platforms, but four times as much? There have to be some pretty significant differences to justify a 300% increase, right?

And for those anti-price-complaint people, I'm not making a judgement whether or not the game is worth the asking price. I'm simply trying to understand why it costs four times as much on PC versus on mobile devices.

The only difference is that the graphics are better on PC (you can compare video reviews to see the difference). Both versions can switch between twin stick or touchscreen controls. The PC version was released a year before the Apple version. The PC price is due to the quality of the game and up to 100 hours of gameplay (Talos Principle was the same price). The Apple price is because nobody pays more than $10 for any app, else it would be higher. The PC version was free on the Epic Store, and is often on sale for $10-20 on Steam, GoG, Xbox, etc. I prefer the atmosphere created by the better graphics, but I think it would play well in quick handheld game sessions.

So, to be clear, it's a 75% reduction, not a 300% increase.
