Of course people suscribe to play online, but why can't it be free? It doesn't cost them millions to maintain their servers.

It doesn't cost them $0 to maintain their servers. And thats why it can't be free.

So then, why is it the platform holders and not individual developers who are charging for the servers?

Good thing you already pay money for the ability to access the game's content before you pay for an online subscription.

If this service was a requirement, than Steam and Origin would cost money to use, too ...
