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.

none of these games are GaaS and campaign/single player are a big part of all of those games except Halo Wars, so I dont know what youre trying to say. 

Those games were canselled because they werent shaping up well, not because they werent GaaS. Ori and the Blind Forest, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Sunset Overdrive, Recore, Quantum Break, and Cuphead wouldve all been cancelled if that was the case. 

Heck, the argument isnt even if they have interest in SP games or not, its if they are going all in on GaaS, which even their "micro-transaction ridden" games arent (forza 7 is the only game from that which gets somewhat hurt by microtrsnasactions) What a baseless argument.
