MSI was given an opportunity to speak with us prior to publication. Our goal is that MSI, and the rest of the industry, can learn to behave more appropriately when working with media. Namely, that’d mean no more “asking” for changes to content or titles. As a bonus, there's lots of talk about our history of getting blacklisted (and un-blacklisted). Like our content?
