Although I agree with the rest of the post, I think that recent releases contradict this theory. Companies much less healthy (read: no passive income) are putting out single-player games, and not just that, they are doing big games, huge releases with a lot of praise.
Fallout 4, Dishonored, Prey, Doom (the SP is really what people play) -- for most recent times; latest years we got stuff like: Bioshock Infinite, Wolfenstein, Batman, Evil Within, MGS5... and I'm surely missing/skipping other noteworthy titles.
Bethesda definitely still ships high quality SP games that seem to do well. Can’t dispute that.
Not sure SP is dead totally, and in fact it might offer a nice relatively stable investment compared to an MP game that fails to monetize itself well, or can’t ask a sufficient upfront price. These are normal developer problems, it seems like. A big developer with successful MP titles has the luxury of focusing on that.
