Wait wait ...
You think you know a playerbase because .... you hang around hardcore subreddits that 99% of players don't read or care about, and that only hardcore members of the community (which are obviously going to skew towards multiplayer fans since that has more replay value than the COD campaigns) care about ... and you think you know the percentage of campaign players because of that?
Bruh, by that logic the Switch would have been a flop. Lmao.
I mean, Black Ops 4 is undoubtedly going to be the best selling COD this gen, so I don't think it's up to debate whether they'd sell more copies with campaign mode or BR mode ... but that's because it's adding people to the fanbase not catering more to the existing fans (BR fans and people who weren't interested in BR until it got a massive AAA release). Certainly if there was a campaign mode, more than 5% would have played it. I mean ... 5% is the amount of people that platinum most games, so that's already 5% covered.
Though it all goes back to the fact that honestly, Treyarch do not make good campaigns.

People playing a campaign just because it's in the game isn't the same as people caring about said campaign's absence. And I used extrapolation, you should look that up. Anyway.. 5% of a, 20 million playerbase, for example, is one million. That's one million people who care about a singleplayer campaign not being in the game. Maybe that sounds better to you. To me, that sounds too much when it comes to COD, but whatever.
Also, the subreddits are made up of " hardcore" players? It's actually the opposite.

I know what "extrapolation" is, you're just being too dramatic.
I don't disagree with your point, I responded to this specific statement: "Yeah, that still doesn't prove people who actually and truly like COD buy the games for its singleplayer campaign"
Which imo is a little too far, it's basically saying anyone who TRULY likes COD only buys it for x and not y ... almost elitist
But it's not a big deal anyways, since I don't disagree that focusing on BR is going to be more profitable.
People definitely cared more in the 7th gen lol ... MW trilogy
