Please no. Please no. I don't need any more competition. I suck enough at SC2 already. And I can just see this going badly. If Blizzard is to make any money, they'll need to monetize. What are they going to monetize? Profile pics? Units?

Depends. I don't want to be nickled and dimed. >:(

It will cost 4.99 to unlock Marines.

The first thing I thought was, "How would they monetize it? Make Zerg hats available?"

If it's done like TF2, then I'm for it.

I'm confused... How would this work out? Could someone explain it to me?

I imagine that they would charge you for unit skins or profile pictures or something like that, I'm actually for this as it could possibly bring in a much larger player base and more noobs to pwn :D

lol you can buy back the carriers after their taken from you in the next game/expansion :P

that would make some money

Well, I'm glad I didn't buy it. I wonder what a F2P Starcraft II would be like. The thought of it makes me cringe.

Worked wonders for TF2. I can totally imagine people buying hats for the Zerg.

I did not know you had to pay to play starcraft. good thing i did not buy it....

Oh gosh, I would not pay for this.  The content for pay would either be worthless or outdone by the fact that I don't take it serious enough to spend more than the 3 campaigns we're already expected to pay for.

Making units unlockable for money would be a very bad idea and would reek of Activision.  Don't be as obvious as EA is with theirs.

that seems like very good news, i hope they decide to do so

If Blizzard just makes an automated tournament system that you have to pay like a dollar to get into, and then it pays the top so any players, I'm sure that would easily make f2p profitable for them.

Not the biggest deal to me, $60 is a small price to pay for the unlimited playability of Starcraft, but hopefully it would broaden the player base.

Doesn't sounnd promising,there most likely will be a hitch.

Must be hard for these companies to cut a profit these days. . .

Hmmmm.... Interesting.

After the atrocity that was D3, I'm no longer intrigued by any Blizzard product. As a matter of fact, i consider them dead.
