It's not difficult to go and get the lore , if it' was really important to you I, you oud have already done it , this is just -blam!- for the sake of -blam!- .
I've a friend that has crappy internet where their at right now and isnt able to get on this week. So it wouldnt be unreasonable for it to be extended to the rest of the season since there may be REAL LIFE situations preventing people from getting on and playing.
Your playing a mmo lite genre that is internet dependant for its content and ability to play . You know this prior to playing the game .yes Crappy internet sucks sure , real life happens sure , but the reality is you miss out no point whinging about it that's the genre and it's part of the price of admission ,luckily if your that much into the lore there's YouTube after the fact .
The point is someone shouldn't have to go to youtube. I dont thing there should be these "you had to be there" moments. Especially for content that you pay for. The lore is part of the seasonal content. By barring someone from being able to access something that they paid for because it's a "you had to be there" moment, Bungie is essentially committing fraud.
