I still remember that quote from a month ago where a Blizzard employee said Heart of the Swarm was 18 months out. If that is the case, we will see Heart of the Swarm in 2012 and Legacy of the Void in 2014. 4 years to fully release a game.

Due to this, I am starting to feel the same way. Diablo 3 is probably another year and a half out and nothing after that except Blizzard's new MMORPG IP.

Furthermore, considering how good the quality and quantity of PC games there were before the World of Warcraft (Released in 2004) compared to a year to two after, I fully place the lion's shares of the blame on WoW for essentially killing the PC gaming market and leaving it a beggar for console ports and the occasional great PC exclusive.

Then again, the death of PC gaming may be due more to 7th generation consoles damn near on par with PC in terms of graphics. For $300 you can play Modern Warfare 2 with less hardware worries than someone playing it on a $1500 PC gaming rig. Add to the fact, computer technology moves so fast with a $2000 PC gaming rig losing all relevance in 3 years, it is not a wonder why gamers such as myself have migrated from PC exclusive to almost console exclusive.
