When it started I thought it was one third Zuckerberg just being the romantic geek wishing to making his childhood gaming dreams a reality (and their adolescence continuation: becoming the best virtual swordfighter by merit of having commissioned the algorithm), one third Zuckerberg having been so spoiled with luck that he involuntarily seeks ever more unlikely odds to finally experience failure and finally the last third shareholder representatives being rightfully sceptic pushing Zuckerberg into a control frenzy where he'd eventually do it just to show "them" that they have no power to stop him.
Zuck really likes new features. If you show him a great new research piece, he'll be super happy.
Thats why codec avatars received so much money, despite being lead by a perfectionist who was both incredibly stubborn and also surprisingly sloppy.
