I think the fourth reason that has been discussed here and in Jeff's post also sounds plausible: - somebody wants to push his app with fake reviews, however that would be easy to detect / trace back. Thus that person buys addition

Haha, yes Leap Motion was a lot of fun and I think the BTT integration landed me my first job (@Siemens) after university. That must have been almost 10 years ago -- yep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDJKFtLDx4k
