Not only do they think about pricing the game, they also have to think about doing a cash shop or item drop system. I'm not a fan of the treasure boxes and item drops in DotA 2, but it's cool when you do get something good. Those that have invested a lot of money, trading, or just pure luck in item finding may be unwilling to head to Blizzard's game.
HoTS is supposed to be a standalone F2P game though. You don't need SC2 to be able to play it.
