I don't know if i am dumb or blind but i cant find a site where it talks about why the production of Starcraft Ghost fell through back in the day. Because from what i remember it was looking pretty BA IMO.
So can someone please post a link about why it fell through or explain it to me on here.

I went outside once. The graphics were good but the gameplay sucked.
The game was announced in 2002 and was to be developed by Nihilistic Software for the Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 video game consoles.
Several delays in development caused Blizzard to move back the release date and the game has not yet materialized. Nihilistic Software ceded development to Swingin' Ape Studios in 2004 before Blizzard bought the company, and plans for the GameCube version were canceled in 2005.
Blizzard announced in March 2006 that the game is on "indefinite hold" while the company investigated seventh generation video game console possibilities. Subsequent public statements from company personnel have been contradictory about whether production will be renewed or planned story elements will be worked into other products.
At the BlizzCon conference in 2007, StarCraft series creator Chris Metzen hinted that elements of Ghost's story may appear in the upcoming StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Metzen further stated that he believed Ghost had an excellent storyline that may be told in future novels following from DeCandido's Nova. In June 2007, Rob Pardo, one of the lead developers at Blizzard Entertainment, indicated that there still was interest in finishing Ghost
Blizzard's president Mike Morhaime and Pardo gave a presentation on the company's history at the D.I.C.E. Summit in February 2008. During the presentation, they listed games canceled by Blizzard, which did not include Ghost.
So MAYBE from the third paragraph we may see the game moving to xbox360, ps3 or wii on a future... Or never see it, as it history may have been added to SC2.
Thanks man. That's interesting. I am going to make a prediction that its not gonna continue in production ever. Or not until like years after Starcraft2 comes out.

And a quick mention during the Lore panel of Blizzcon 2009 where Metzen confirmed that some storyline elements from Ghost will appear in the campaign of SC2. Nothing major though.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
