Single player games have never even been in danger of dying. Every single year there are countless examples of great single player games selling extremely well. The reason this narrative was born some years back was that publishers began to notice how certain big online multiplayer games were making massive amounts of money because players kept playing them for extended periods of time.

This directly led to a lot of people within those publishers trying to push the idea that most people no longer wanted those single player experiences because the publishers noticed that they could potentially make more money from multiplayer only games. It's never been true, and judging by some of the biggest games of the last few years, it's not going to be true anytime soon either.
