PC have free online until today. Sony and MS doesn't really offer servers for the MP. It is just a nick and dime against customers. Similar to how MS were locking Netflix behind Gold.

Yeah, PC is riddled with more cheaters more often. Developers generally run their own servers there so results mixed.

Free is good, but I think charging something makes sense too.

Charging to use apps was difficult to justify so its gone.

Well you don't need Gold or + to get riddled of cheaters so not sure why you pointed that.

From what we know the server side of both PC and consoles is very light except on MMO, most of the multiplayer games they go and use one of the costumers console as the server for the session so the server just manage the matchmaking. So the charge for that cost is just to high.

It is their service so if they want to charge we can't really complain much, people are willing to pay so that is a choice from both parties.
