That is one thing the GDC does not want. In the past this dimension has often been 6". This year due to the game, the dimension was changed to 8". In my opinion it is pretty obvious that was decided to give a greater challenge to designers.

Al,

I just checked the manuals from 2012 until now and they had the minimum set for 8". Maybe I'm missing what you are saying but it would appear this rule has been set like this for awhile.
