Yeah, any active player of WoW will tell you that Blizzard still has quite a few wrinkles to iron out of it. Blizzard can usually be relied upon to release finished products and continue to support them, though, so I think they're actually going to bother to keep at WoW until it really works. They just released a patch for pre-Brood War Starcraft, for heaven's sake. The game is pushing 10 years.
Which brings me to my second point...Starcraft is way, way overdue for a full-blown sequel. It wouldn't surprise me if Ghost was the herald of Starcraft 2 in the same way that Warcraft 3 was of WoW. I'm actually rather surprised every time Blizz anounces the Next Frickin' Huge Game and it isn't the Starcraft sequel. You can still find Starcraft at every decent computer cafe with a gaming section and it's been in the rotation of surefire games to bring to LAN party since before the original Half Life was. Any decent piece of gaming with the SC title is a guaranteed grand slam for Blizz.
