Microsoft abandoned any sort of thoughtful experience when they decided to go all in with GaaS. 
Both Sony and Nintendo consistently release single-player, story or gameplay-driven experiences, while I can't think of  a Microsoft's project in the past three years which wasn't a fancy vehicle for microtransactions and DLC.

But, yeah... LOL, I guess

I dont know why people say ms has gone all in on GaaS, when they havent published a single GaaS game this gen yet. Also, none of their upcoming games are GaaS. The only case that could be made is Sea of Thieves. People are spinning the "single-player game economics are complicated" to "MS is all in on GaaS".............wow, just wow

I guess Forza 7 never happened. Or Halo Wars 2. Or Gears 4. Or Forza Horizon 3. Or Halo 5. 

Don't try and wiggle your way out of this one.
It's apparent Microsoft has no interest in single-player experiences. This is shown not only, as you claim, by their statements, but by their behaviour this entire gen, from supporting microtransactions-ridden games, to altering and ultimately cancelling several games which wouldn't fit the GaaS model, such as Fable Legends, Phantom Dust, Scalebound, Stormlands, Project Spark etc.

Their weak statements on the SP debauchery and their poor line-up are just confirmation to what was already known.
