Yeah, I don't get this at all.  Blizzard has always had long development 
cycles - and the end result has almost always been worth the wait.

Besides which, I can hardly call Starcraft2 (or Diablo2) vaporware.  I 
mean we've seen quite a bit of the games already.  Half Life Episode 3 
would be vaporware.  We know there's going to be one, but no one knows 
when we'll ever actually SEE it.
