Guys, I really doubt this this is all about gear. How much gear do all MYM players need per month, not much, it'a a once time action of providing players with stuff. There are greater money behind that. And SteelSeries simply offered better offer than Sennheiser and Qpad together.

To MYM players:
Anyone interested in using Ikari mouse?
