If I understand correctly, this was driven mainly by game developers. Apparently people were buying the shorter games, playing them to completion, and returning them within the 24 hour window.

@i ♥ Tofu: FTL is a pretty commonly used term in Sci-Fi, meaning faster-than-light. He may be a SG fan, but he could have heard it from any number of places :).

@Canoehead: Yeah, why doesn't the US government just man up and start killing anyone that "goes to war" with them. Releasing information to the public is dangerous and should be met with deadly force.

@george111 has finally rooted his phone, and might've: In all seriousness, I would use that.

@george111 has finally rooted his phone, and might've: The real question is, when will they fix people spelling ridiculous incorrectly?

@Yerzriknot: Programming.

@Twanzio: I have opinions about this article, but they are just my opinions and other people have equally valid opinions of their own!
