Most of those people play COD for multiplayer like I said before.

Irrelevant.

Very few play it for the single player.

As a %. Sure. But millions do buy and play the game for just the singleplayer component. - Did you not bother to do the math?

If they can devote their time on making a better multiplayer the end result will drive more sales and more microtransactions.

This is Activision we are talking about.
Not only is it Activision, but it's Call of Duty.

If you think the Multiplayer component will see a marked increase in quality by abolishing the single player component... Well. I think you should have your standards lowered so as to avoid disappointment.

Also, the last thing the gaming world needs is more Microtransactions.

Especially if they add a pubg mode.

So now we are delving into hypotheticals?

Snoopy said:

If only 20% beat the game yet you are spending millions on making the campaign.

They are making more money than they are spending. I think that is ultimately the crux of the issue you seem to be ignoring here.

 That is dumb. GAAS should be every companies goal because that's where the future market is heading. AAA single player doesn't make nearly as much money as multiplayer and much harder to maintain especially due to series fatigue. 

When a single player AAA game is great and is available on every platform, it sells. *cough*Skyrim*cough*.

1. How many people play COD and don't touch the multiplayer? A small number I can guarantee. Probably less than 10%.

2. The multiplayer can be improved and they have a lot of competition so they need to be on their A game constantly. COD multiplayer is good currently, just needs to improve.

3. This whole no single player is hypothetical  as well. However, I can almost guarantee Activision is looking into a pubg mode.

4. They can probably profit even more without a single player. Look at Pubg and fortnite.

5. Yes Skyrim did well in 2011. However, this is 2018. I know time flies. Everyone wants to be the next fortnite, pubg, league of legends, ect. The money you make on microtransactions and all you have to do is update the game is great for business.
