You can play all the races in each game. The campaign is hardly necessary to learn them. Some good RTS games anymore don't even have campaigns (Sins of a Solar Empire, Demigod).

Half-Life 2 was not remotely a complete game. The ending was not the ending of Half-Life 2. No, they expected you to buy 3 more games to get to the ending, and we still haven't gotten the last game (4 years down the road). We'll get the other 2 pieces of the Starcraft campaign much faster than that.

You all overreacted to a situation before you took the time to think it through. As a PC gamer I'm embarrassed to see such reactions from my fellow gamers.

 

Campaigns are how I like to learn the three seperate races (and I know I'm not alone in that one).  At least in Starcraft they're setup so certain strategies work really well and that's just how I learn those strategies.  I don't get that just playing random multiplayer maps against the computer or random people.

And with Half-Life 2, I knew there was more planned but after I completed the game I wasn't left feeling like a piece of the game was missing.  The game felt complete and just seemed like it was left open for a sequel (or in this case more episodes). It would be like if you got to Ravenholm and then the game told you you're going to have to wait a year for the next 1/3 of the game, lol spend more money.

Who knows, they could make Starcraft 2 feel completel by just playing the Terran but I'm going to assume they don't until proven otherwise since Starcraft is all about the three races. 

I know I can still play the other two races in multiplayer but a big part of the game for me is the campaign.
