The developers behind the sequel to legendary videogame Elite have, to the anger and dismay of fans, announced they've dropped the promised offline singleplayer mode. The game is due to be released in under a month. With the title having raised about $1.5 million from Kickstarter, and millions more in subsequent campaigns that advertised the feature, many of those following the project are livid. A complaints thread on the official Elite forums has swelled to over 450 pages in merely three days, with backers demanding refunds. It is down to the discretion of Frontier, the game's developer, whether to process refund requests of original backers.

UK is small. In the US you just contract "down south" and it ends up costing about the same overall by the time you're done with tax rebates and lower transport costs and faster deliveries and generally better quality. In the UK its too small so there isn't a "somewhere else" and you gotta go China, so I sympathize.
On the other hand you got your southern/Mediterranean countries in euroland which are in economic collapse, so they'll work cheap until the revolution or breakup of euroland or nationalization of industry, so you're in a geopolitical risk scenario.
