Well not everything on the PC is free to play online once you pay the initial cost of the game, you have things like WoW which cost €13 per month to continue accessing their online service, or games like LoL which is "free" for most people but there are boosters and addons to buy for it to the point where the game service isn't just being payed for i.e. development and bandwidth but also the company makes a rather nice profit from a game which is "100% free".

Mmos with paid subscription services are still paid services on console too, FF online requires a paid subscription for ps4 exactly as it does for PC.

Console games also have microtransactions and " ingame shops" too, so not sure why these matter

Yeah just MMO's are quite the same at least in some cases on the consoles tho, say FFXI for example doesn't require you to pay for Xbox live gold to be able to go online (you have to pay the sub free to square, just not pay for xbox live too)

I'm just saying that not every PC game is free online there are exceptions. (as of course there are the other way around as well things like the Vita/PS3/Wii-U all having free online play)
