Someone from developers 5 Ants has addressed some of the frustration about this on the Steam forums with: So what on earth were they thinking? Oh, we know. I think people would have accepted an increase for a PC version, but not something this ridiculous. It undeniably affixes a sense of what one should pay for it.

Tiny Thief is over-priced at £12 - it's a short game, with limited replayability (unlike Angry Birds) - but it's obviously a game that released first on PC would be acceptable well over 69p. But, now on a bigger screen! For only 17 times more money!

Now richer than China, the Angry Birds developers can't seem to get enough money.
