WoW has had a much bigger influence on gaming and pop culture in general and most people who whine about there not being a Half Life 3 have never played any Half Life game and maybe have played one of the two Portals and so think they can be a Valve fanboy now. WoW is a much better quality game with much more bang for your buck, as it were, even with the monthly fee.
World of Warcraft > Half Life 2.

IMO, defining a genre and setting a bar, one which nobody has even come close to surpassing now 8 years later, as high as Blizzard did is such an amazing achievement that to give it to any other game (even if it's an amazing game like Half Life 2) that didn't come anywhere close to setting a sales or fanbase record to the extent of WoW for its respective genre that, again, has not been surpassed is silly, IMO. If you're going to go off of the vague description of "best" you have to take many things into account and how fun you believe the game to be is not all of it.
World of Warcraft has had a bigger impact on the gaming industry, gaming as a sub-culture, pop-culture, and its genre than Half Life 2 has. If you ask an average non-gamer if they know what World of Warcraft is, and then if they know what Half Life 2 is, they will likely know the former before they know the latter. And that kind of transcendence of the sub-culture of gaming into the general public is the kind of thing that makes a game Game of the Decade.
