I have no idea why they thought this is needed. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/25/dice- ... available/

It's an electronic die.

Quote:
Game developers can now order the $99 developer kit, which includes shipping worldwide, providing them with a die and software for incorporating the product into games (or building a game from the ground up using the device).


I thought I had a computer to simulate a die for me.

Quote:
From what we saw, the product is certainly still in its prototype phase and not ready for primetime. The device's anti-cheat system requires a two-second roll time which is way too long (that can be cut down). The die also is not particularly fond of soft surfaces, since it needs that initial impact to register the roll, something the team discovered last night when they were product testing in the hotel room.


Sounds quite well tested, then.
