This is something the community has been asking for, something [i]I[/i] have been asking for, since day one. And if you don’t want to buy it, that’s fine. It’s not needed to play Destiny, so there isn’t any real reason to whine about it, you can still find the Grimoire online on several websites.
I mean, is it really that unreasonable to have a physical copy of all of the Destiny lore for you to read whenever you wanted? Yeah sure, it would be nice to read with the app every once in a while, but I would much rather read it out of a book. Not to mention the app/website will go down for maintenance periodically, and eventually down for good, (Hopefully not anytime soon.)
Take the Creature Bios from Ark Survival Evolved for example. You can find all of these in game, with their art, all the information about them, etc.
And you can view each one that you find whenever you want.
But I’m not going to go start up my Xbox and TV, get my annoyingly uncomfortable chair set up, start up the game, wait for it to load, and go to the lore tab just to do a bit of reading.
No, for that purpose, the book that came with the limited edition is something I’d use instead.
All those stories and amazing art pieces are in one neat, organized space. No fiddling with games or apps or whatever. And as long as you take care of it, it will most likely last forever. I mean, come on, I’m sure I don’t need to list every single advantage a book has over it’s electronic counterpart.
Point is, you all are completely misunderstanding the release of a Grimoire book. Should Bungie have kept the lore on the website? Yes, they should have. Is this a cash grab? No, it really isn’t. This is something that [i]we[/i] asked for.
[b]Edit:[/b] People seem to be forgetting that Bungie is adding [b][u][i]AN IN GAME LORE TAB FOR ALL TO USE[/i][/u][/b] this September.
[b]Edit 2:[/b] Since you numbskulls seem to think that I’m assuming they took the lore out of Destiny 1 the game, I’m referring to the Grimoire that was [b]on the site.[/b]

Edit: When you can show me that the majority of the player base asked for that knowing how popular it was and how gamers use to flood this forum about the lore. Then you might have something to talk about. This is no different than Bungie introducing Ghorn then remove it to use it as a carrot for a couple time in D1 knowing how popular it was. Funny how all this is taking place just in time for forsaken right? Wouldn't want to miss that carrot. The cheap moves this company has been pulling this last year is absurd no matter how you "try" to justify it, especially knowing they could have added this in the game a while back with a few other things they are using as a carrot in hopes to get gamers to buy forsaken. Hmm, do you think this reskinned game will bring Ghorm back? Nah, Bungie would never do that. Oh, and what did Bungie say before D2 released, something along the lines that they thought there was too much cough "story" in D2. Right... Edit: I wonder how many actual Bungie employees bumped this post lol.
