Love seeing MGS3 get some credit for this badass song and the OST in general. Also amazing to see that the singer was a black woman! What a thrill.

What is whaling, in this context? Is it players who spend shittons on microtransactions, like this article implies? https://www.alistdaily.com/strategy/mobile-gaming-whales-fitting-new-descriptors/
