My biggest concern would be the affect on the player-base/community. I know the SC2 community isn't a shining example of maturity, but it's much, much better than all the F2P games I've played. F2P = omg horrible community in my experience. BW was basicly F2P because of how widespread pirated version was. Hell, ICCUP was even holding it available for download right on their site. So was BW community horrible? | ||

And many people would buy HotS just for the campaign, or to support blizzard. I know i would buy it even the multiplayer was free just to support a company which i think is looking to improve his e-sport. | ||

F2p is a great idea only if done right and wih moderation. I think it's a bad idea in general. First "free to play" is a misnomer. It should be "free to see a demo". While the 60 bucks for Wol and approximately 45 buck for Hots is quite a hurdle, it is also reassuring "pay once and get access to all content". It is good for the peace of mind. | ||

With f2p you could just create 3 accounts and do it though it could still be an option to pay for separate ladder ranks. | ||

That would essentially eliminate the pirating concern right? If they're generating their money through in game purchases I don't see how adding LAN mode would hurt, shoot I would even pay a few bucks to get that feature at that point. Just a thought, haven't seen anyone else mention it. Depends on if the things you could buy with microtransactions would be ripped to that version but yea, LAN definitely should be a possibility if it goes F2P. | ||

Well the main reason for them not including LAN was because of piracy and it seems that this would no longer be a concern with free to play model. Why wouldn't they include that feature if it adds value to their game at no risk to them? There are plenty of situations where LAN would be very useful to have, namely for tournament organizers. If they don't add it that's fine, I just don't see why they wouldn't if piracy isn't an issue. | ||
