Starcraft free-to-play

Looks like Blizzard could be following EA's approach:

I am not buying that, but I prefer this question: How about World of Starcraft when the World of Warcraft series has already been a success? Blizzard does not need a F2P game yet since every one of their previous retail games have all been successful with a good amount of sales.

World of Warcraft already has a free to play model, so I don't know what you're going on about...

I wouldn't call that free to play as in the whole game is free to play. It's only up to level 20, which is rougly 17% of the levels able to achieve. Oh and these 17% of the levels are the easiest. That leaves us with a very small percent of the actual package that you can "play for free". I'd say it's more like a free teaser/introduction to the game to get players hooked, rather than a free to play model that is integrated into the game itself.

How useful, fun, or encompassing it might be is quite irrelevant, it is a free to play model.
