I think its pretty unfair concept if you think about it. Xbox live servers are paid by Microsoft who charges its console users for it. PC gamers can play for free because these servers are paid by console owners.
If they want to have PC gamers not paying for online then let them host their own servers.

Is the whole Microsoft Azure platform paid by console gamers? Any proof that Windows games will run on servers that are paid by XBL Gold members?


Yep how else crossgaming works? In the original windows live MS tried PC gamers to pay for online, it didnt turned out to be successfull so they made it for free. My PC version of lost planet colonies came with 30 days windows live included in it which is the same like an xbox live gift card, also in  lost planet colonies pc and console gamer played together MP. A bunch of other original windows live games supported crossplay too like blaze continium shift on pc.
