Um, I can 100% assure you that's not the case. SC2 has almost literally unlimited budget. As in they have the funds available from WoW to finance 20 normal games. Also, they won't not put in a feature because it will increase the development cycle. Their motto is 'its ready when its ready', and this has been in production since 2003. (Announced in 2007). They're taking their sweet time about it. The sole reason not to include LAN is to A: combot piracy, and B: they think that whatever Bnet 2.0 is capable of, it'll be a satisfactory replacement for LAN.
