Wolfenstein 2 Designer Explains Why The Single-Player FPS Is Dying

Personal standpoint? A lot of it is probably money. A good solid multiplayer game will yield great revenue, and people will tell their friends to get a game to play it with them. A multiplayer game on console will require people to keep the disc, whereas a single-player game some people will return it or trade it once they’ve finished with it, and of course developers and publishers don’t see any money from trade-ins. That’s not the consumer’s fault, but there are a lot of aspects like that that get accounted for business-wise.

Agreed with many of you. No single player, no purchase. They always turn the servers off and the game becomes worthless without a single player campaign.

I won't buy a game unless it has a good single player story/mode. Unless it depends only on co-op and multiplayer(like R6 siege) which is a different case
