What? I completely miss the logic in this.

As Omercle said the fees are there for a reason. Buying the game and computer (which the computer costs shouldn't even be factored in since it's a completely different company getting that money there) are completely different then paying the online fee. If you wanted a free MMO you play one of the hundreds of cheap games who run servers on a regular PC and that crash every other day.

The minor fee for online play to maintain all of FFXI's servers and to pay for the dev and GM team is nothing compared to how much you can get out of the game.

you don't have to pay to play your ps3... yet!!
Doesn't the PS3 make you pay to use their online features too? I know X-Box does.

Regardless online and offline play are 2 separate things. You can't even compare them.
