No.... (Destiny)

...but WHY is this stuff not in the game itself?!

Relegating this kind of deep and interesting lore to Pokemon cards that are not available in the actual game kills immersion.

Being confronted in game with a wall of text breaks immersion. Some of the cards are better campfire stories, not something that would be read to you mid-mission.

I won't argue that it would be good to get more of this stuff into the game, BUT I don't think you could put it all into the game without it being highly distracting and immersion breaking.
