There's a pretty big difference in long development times and games that take a decade but you knew that already. Starcraft 2 is many wonderful things but it's not a game worthy of a six year development cycle, let alone twelve. Blizzard may be notorious for their painstaking process but that doesn't mean people need to be happy with it. I'm sure theres some amusing project management failures tied into the whole story anyways. Yes, I am taking into account that development does not take place in a vacuum where no other products are worked on. Prez and anyone who agrees with him on those points isn't being unreasonable in pointing it out either.
