Okay, I just don't understand why M$ would offer equivalent servers on PC and Xbone? Does this mean EA are paying for it

I believe Respawn is paying the cost not EA.  During an interview a while ago, Respawn mentioned the reason they went with MS is that the offered affordable dedicated servers where a small studio like theirs could afford.  This is the reason that the PC and X1 are using MS Azure platform because Respawn is making those versions.  EA is doing the 360 port so who knows what that will use.  Probably EA servers.

So on PC. You buy the game for cheaper and get free dedicated servers

On Xbox. You buy a more expensive game and then have to pay M$ for the servers

I just don't see why Respawn would pay

As a gamer you get free dedicated servers no matter what Respawn is paying or what platform you play the game on.  Since MS is not giving out cost who knows how much Respawn is paying but from their month it must be affordable.
