It is not bad at all. Actually, it can become very helpful when making a Background Story that dwells very well on Freelancer Background Story. I tried to read almost everything that Freelancer has about its history, though - it's just a game - nothing to get too serious about.
So, since you 'like' reading, you should get a excellent standard knowledge of Freelancer. Maybe you'll be the next person on the Dev Team on making Info Cards and etc. :laugh:
