Problem: Game supplements the Grimoire, not vice-versa (Destiny)

Wait, so just because some people might ignore it, it's better to not give anyone the option? I really can't understand that notion.

Because development is a zero sum game*. You can't have in game Grimoire and not trade off other content that may be more useful for the majority.

*Caveat:
It actually doesn't have to be a zero sum game, but that's only when you have talent sitting unused. You could have a couple devs capable of putting the content into a cool web format, but don't have the skills to put it in game. All those with the in game skills are busy with really important things, and the testers are already over whelmed. Thus, you get Grimoire in a web browser because it requires less testing, far less risk, and doesn't take features away from the paid game.
