You want StarCraft 2 now? Blame WoW for delay

[spychi]

Rob Pardo said in one of his interview, that the production of World of WarCraft have been delayed for one year the development of StarCraft 2 in it's early stages.
Rob Pardo:
"One of the reasons that StarCraft II had some delays very early on in development is because a fair amount of the design team went onto World of Warcraft for a year to really help finish the game off."

I don't remember any sources but that's been said in several interviews a while ago. Even shortly after the announcement if I recall correctly.

Instead of getting a good game and a less polished game, they made sure to delay one of them and give us two polished games. I don't really see the problem.

Blizzard can take as long as they want (and they will, regardless of what anyone wants really), as long as they make a good game. Being that I've never been disappointed by this company, I have faith that they'll put the game out when it's ready. No sooner, no later.

I don't see either...but they could delay WoW instead of SC2

That game was obviously a bit further along being that it came out 4-5 years before SC2 did.

I rather have SC2 now instead of WOW. Been waiting for it longer than warcraft. The small bits or half explained warcraft lore been recently been a disappointing.

World of Warcraft had a design team? I would of never known.
