To those of you who have already read the Immolant web stories, I can tell you where you can hear the story's events told in summary within the game. Go down to Zavala's office to the same console where you go to receive the Seasonal Artifact. Listen to the recordings until you get to the last one. The last one currently is Osiris speaking about pursuing the Hive responsible for Sagira's death.
Within the game, right now, that's where you'll find the events of Immolant told.
Now, to Bungie:
At this point, you've already got a lot of back-lash for this development, and I can agree with a lot of it. My only hope is that when tomorrow kicks off Season of the Hunt, you kick it off like you did Season of the Worthy: with an opening cinematic that specifically shows the events where Sagira sacrifices herself to save Osiris, that shows the Cryptoliths in action so we know what's at stake.
Leaving Sagira's death being mentioned in-game in broadcasts [i]you have to know where to look right now,[/i] and leaving the actual events in just a blog post, on the other hand, would be a very bad move. If that's how it is, I'd be very disappointed, and I'd say aflame with justifiable anger would be the response you'll have earned from everyone else.

Well, I have to say I am rather disappointed. You just jumped right into the Season of the Hunt without showing us what actually happened to Sagira, just saying she's now dead, and expecting us to have either read the web lore story or swung by Zavala's office.
