Going into F2P with microtransactions can tarnish an established series' reputation. Look at Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances (The franchise was ruined prior to this game anyway and with a plethora of cancelled games, this one has an uncertain future). Though it could be an attempt to fund a new game, as could be the case with ACI.
